I am discovering such... I think a better approach is to import the
xml into a variable at the parent level, so into
parent_xslt_document.xsl
Would you agree?
Yes, I would always use global variables for this kind of thing. Or external
"lookup.xml" files, read using the document() function.
Also, since we are on the subject:
Is there such thing as cross-walking xml sources? Recently I tempted
to match all (as an example) AAA elements with a value of matching all
BBB element values where BBB xml Source is not the same as AAA's xml
source. AAA would be part of the original xml source (not sure how
you refer to that) where BBB is either an inline XML source "user data
element" or imported into the stylesheet into a variable, or passed in
as a parameter.
I can't work out exactly what process you are describing, but it's certainly
possible to join, compare, or merge data from multiple sources in XSLT.
