Template rules use a match pattern to identify nodes, and unless you try
really hard to prevent it, they will match nodes in any document. For
example, <xsl:template match="*"> will match any element in any document. So
if you've have written an identity transformation, you can apply it to your
document simply by applying it - <xsl:apply-templates
select="document('abc.xml')/head"/>, for example.

Subject: [xsl] Identity transform on node-set loaded with document()
Hi,
I've been away from XSLT a while and am stumbling on how to
implement the following:
My transform imports, using document(), an HTML snippet
contain a populated <head></head> tag. I want to copy this
into one of several result trees I am outputting as is
*except* the <title/> tag needs to be populated with a value.
Initially I created a named template and sent the loaded
node-set to it, then realised I probably needed an identity
transform but all of the identity transform examples I've
found seem to be set-up to operate on the master document
only. What's the best way to carry out this task?
Can I do an identity transform with a named template?
I'm sure there's a fairly simple solution but it's passing me by.
Thanks,
Matt
