I don't see why you cannot use generate-id(). During a transformation the
identity of all nodes of all trees is unique. You simply reach into the
tree with your target node and get its generated identifier.
You say you are using XSLT 1.0 (it is easier in XSLT 2.0), so you can do:
<xsl:for-each select="$other-file">
... make your way to the element ...
<xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
I have
tried normalising the content, but I end up with duplicates when I try
to replace spaces and other special characters. Any ideas on how best
I can sort this out?
File 1
<file>
<keyword>the-word_</keyword>
<keyword>-the word</keyword>
<keyword>!the&word</keyword>
<resources>
<resource>xxxxx</resource>
<resource>xxxxx</resource>
</resources>
</file>
File 2
<file>
<resource>
<id>xxxxx</id>
<title>xxxxx</title>
<description>xxxxx</
description>
<keywords/>
<key>the-word</key>
<key>-the-word</key>
<key>!the&word</key>
</keyword>
</resource>
</file>
Desired output
<html>
:
<body>
File2 link is <a name="UNIQUEID" />
</body>
:
</html>
Which is your input file and which is the referenced file? How is the
referencing done in order to look up your target match?

Sorry if my question was not very clearly, but I have two seperate
stylesheets that each generate html files.
File 1 html output has content that is referenced by File 2 output.
The problem is that I am unable to find a suitable way of generating.
I was hoping there could perhaps be a way of generating a UNIQUE
identifier common to both output files other than using generate-id().
