ufff... nevermind. I needed to do:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$defs/*">

Hi, (using saxon9)
I have a few pages that each contain a table of definitions. The
tables look like (they do not have a namespace):
<table border="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<p>absenteeism</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>frequent or habitual absence from school</p>
</td>
</tr>
....
Can I gather up all of the TR elements, like my defs variable below
(or some other way) and apply-templates on them (while sorting)? The
stylesheet below causes an error "Too many nested apply-templates
calls. The stylesheet may be looping." at the <xsl:apply-templates
select="$defs">
What am I doing wrong here?
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:variable name="defs">
<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/glossary-1.1.1.xml')//tr"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-1-glossary.xml')//
tr"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-2-glossary.xml')//
tr"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-3-glossary.xml')//
tr"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-4-glossary.xml')//
tr"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<glossentries>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$defs">
<xsl:sort select="normalize-space(td[1]/p/text())"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</glossentries>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tr">
<xsl:variable name="term" select="normalize-space(td[1]/p/
text())"/>
<xsl:variable name="file-name" select="translate($term, ' ',
'-')"/>
<glossentry file-name="{$file-name}">
<term>
<xsl:value-of select="$term"/>
</term>
<definition>
<xsl:copy-of select="td[2]/*"/>
</definition>
</glossentry>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
thanks,
