So long as you really do mean "preceding" and "following" nodes in the sense
of the XPath axes, then the answer is yes. However, you can't use XPath axes
to navigate between different documents in a collection.

Another one, what if i want to assign to a variable all the
occurrences of a particular element and cast it as element()+
will i still be able to access the information above and
below the particular element, above meaning preceding nodes
and below meaning following node? And how do i write that in
xsl? Is this a correct way to achieve this?
<xsl:variable name="articles" as="element()+" select="for
$file in collection(iri-to-uri('XML files?select=*.xml'))
then $file//article"/>
Thanks again,
-- Jeff

Yes i'm using a relative uri, and i found out that i need to escape
the string to %HH format for it to work.
Thanks Sir Mike!

If the directory is called "c:\XML files", then you should use
collection('file:///c:/XML%20files')
(It might work without escaping the space as %20, I'm not sure)
If you use a relative URI, then it will be taken as
relative to the
URI of the stylesheet.

I'm trying to load a group of xml files that are found in a local
sub-directory where the xslt file is located, what i'm doing is:
<xsl:for-each select="collection('XML files')">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
But i'm getting an invalid URI error. I'm do not know much about
URIs and this is the first time that i'm trying to do
this loop thru
a collection of document thing, i usually make a reference to a
single document with can be easily done using the
document() function.

What do i need to pass as a parameter of the collection

it a URI of an catalog xml file that list all the files
i need to
loop through? or is it just the URI of the folder that
contains all
the xml files i need?
In Saxon, those are the two options supported by the default
collection URI resolver. You can use either approach,
but I
think you
wanted the latter. If there's part of the documentation
you don't
understand, please explain what part.
