But note that you must read the documentation for your specific XSLT
processor first, as although the function is standard, the meaning of
any particular URI is not.
Indeed. I tried it once with AltovaXML for instance, and couldn't find a
way to make it work (and there's no documentation at all). But both
Gestalt and Saxon have a well-documented way of collecting a directory.
One more thing I can think of: in XSLT 2.0, the meaning of the
fn:document() function was expanded to accept a sequence of more than
one value as its first argument, each being a URI. Of course, this won't
help you when you do not know the names of the files up front, unless
you can somehow give them as a parameter on the commandline:
document( ('one.xml', 'two.xml') )
will give you a sequence of two document nodes, one for 'one.xml' and
one for 'two.xml'.
Suppose you'd have a space separated list of files from your directory
in a parameter (you can do so with some trickery on the commandline of
course), this should work to 'concatenate' all files in one output document:
<xsl:copy-of select="document( tokenize($filelist, ' ') )" />
