Not exactly.
If I use the document function to load the base.xml file, the referenced stylesheet does not use the contents of the loaded base.xml file for its templates.


The file is loaded, but its contents are never used.

Are you looking for the document() function?

Hello all,

I have two different xsl stylesheets that will be applied to the same set of
xml documents.


Is there a way to create references to the BASE xml files to save space?

Let's say my xml file is 100 lines, if I want to apply the two XSL
stylesheets, I need to create two files base_01.xml and base_02.xml with 101
lines in each.


The extra line adds the reference to the XSL stylesheet to be used.

I would like to know if it is possible to create the files with just a few
lines, something like this:

------------------
base_01.xml
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet1.xsl" ?>
<?XML REFERENCE TO BASE.XML TO BE PROCESSED ?>

------------------
base_02.xml
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet2.xsl" ?>
<?XML REFERENCE TO BASE.XML TO BE PROCESSED?>


Thank you.
