[xsl] Re: Working with Collections

On XSL-List (as in many places) you can significantly increase your chances of receiving helpful answers to questions by supplying small samples of files that illustrate your question or problem. For example, an XML file, an XSLT stylesheet, the result you got, and the result you want - all in miniature (and remembering that everything posted to XSL-List is archived in public)

Simply describing your transformation and desired output is not enough for people unfamiliar with your data and your background to be able to help you.

Hello, Michael Kay. Thanks for your note:

I think you need to
explain why you feel you need to do this. You say "I need to be able to
traverse the entire collection" but that doesn't appear to justify doing it
this way.

What transformation are you actually trying to perform?

The transformation I'm trying to perform creates a series of groups from the source document based on different criteria and does lookups. It provides the results as a set of tables in the output document. Using the <xsl:for-each/> approach creates repeated sets of results, one for each input document. I also tried:

   <xsl:apply-templates select="collection('collection.xml')/yourcontent"/>

This led to the same output, where I got the combined results once for each document in the collection, which seems strange.

Does this make sense?
