RE: appending to result-document

You can't append to result documents in this way: you have to write them in
a single go, just as you would if you were writing the data to a branch of
the primary tree. In fact, that's how you should think about it: you're in
effect writing a single tree and then lopping off some of the branches to
act as separate result trees in their own right. (If it worked any
differently, the content of the result trees would depend on order of
execution, which isn't defined).

So as with a single-output transformation, the rule is to structure your
stylesheet according to the structure of the output; your problem is
probably that you have designed it to match the structure of the input.

Subject: [xsl] appending to result-document

Hi

I have an xsl file which has two output formats. The first 
one is .html 
and the other is a named xml output. I am using the 
<xsl:result-document> instruction for the xml output as such

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";>
    <xsl:output method="html"/>
    <xsl:output name="log" method="xml" indent="yes"/>

The template where I have placed the <xsl:result-document> 
instruction is:
----------------
<xsl:template match="TR" mode="inner">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="..some test here">
                         <TD>Some HTML output here !</TD>
                   
                    <xsl:result-document href="{$clsNm}.xml" 
format="log" type-information="none">
                        <Results>
                            <Term><xsl:value-of 
select="$clsNm"/></Term
                        </Results>
                    </xsl:result-document>
                   .............
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
------------------

Now the <xsl:when> condition might be satisfied more than 
once when the 
<xsl:template> is called recursively. I dont want separate 
.xml files in 
<xsl:result-document>. In fact I want to append new <Text> element 
results to a single .xml file.

The present output results in 3 files: (i) mainResult.html , (ii) 
Log1.xml and (iii) Log2.xml

Log1.xml looks like this
-------------
<Results xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";>
   <Term>Log1</Term>
</Results>

Log2.xml looks like this
-------------
<Results xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";>
   <Term>Log2</Term>
</Results>

The output I want is two files: (i) mainResult.html , (ii) Log.xml
-------------
<Results xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";>
    <Term>Log1</Term>
   <Term>Log2</Term>
</Results>
-----------------

How do I append xml tags in the log.xml file in the midst of general 
.html output ?

Appreciate all help.

Thanks
Rahil
