RE: how to mix two trees

Hi,

hello, I am having a headache on starting XSLT, and I have to do the 
following:
given a tree like:
<result>
    <exercise>
        <row>
            <exercise_id>1</exercise_id>
            <exercise_title>XSLT Foo</exercise_title>
            <exercise_question>
            She sells sea sehells on the ____<question_1 />. <br />
            Fuzzy wuzzy was a _____<question_2 />
            </exercise_question>
        </row>
    </exercise>
    <questions>
        <row>
            <question_id>1</question_id>
            <question_order>1</question_order>
            <question_options>
                <item>Seashore</item>
                <item>Pier</item>
            </question_options>
        </row>
        <row>
            <question_id>1</question_id>
            <question_order>2</question_order>
            <question_options>
                <item>anemone</item>
                <item>bear</item>
                <item>butterfly</item>
            </question_options>
        </row>
    </questions>      
</result>
I'd have to reconstruct the result in HTML, substituting the 
<question_ 
/> tags in he exercise with the <row> contents belongingto  the 
corresponding <question_order>.
Note: the XML design can be changed(any places on where to learn good 
XML design?), but we will always have these result sets with one 
exercise having one or more questions in it.

Change the <question_1 /> elements to e.g. <question-ref id="2" />, then write 
an identity transformation, with a template that will match question-ref 
elements, and in that template, fetch the corresponding row element.

Cheers,

Jarno
