I have two different files that I am using to generate html files. One

I am looking for a way to generate the unique name. I cannot use
generate-id() as the nodes are located in different files.
I don't see why you cannot use generate-id(). During a
transformation the identity of all nodes of all trees is unique. You
simply reach into the tree with your target node and get its
generated identifier.
You say you are using XSLT 1.0 (it is easier in XSLT 2.0), so you can do:
<xsl:for-each select="$other-file">
... make your way to the element ...
<xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
I have
tried normalising the content, but I end up with duplicates when I try
to replace spaces and other special characters. Any ideas on how best
I can sort this out?
File 1
<file>
<keyword>the-word_</keyword>
<keyword>-the word</keyword>
<keyword>!the&word</keyword>
<resources>
<resource>xxxxx</resource>
<resource>xxxxx</resource>
</resources>
</file>
File 2
<file>
<resource>
<id>xxxxx</id>
<title>xxxxx</title>
<description>xxxxx</
description>
<keywords/>
<key>the-word</key>
<key>-the-word</key>
<key>!the&word</key>
</keyword>
</resource>
</file>
Desired output
<html>
:
<body>
File2 link is <a name="UNIQUEID" />
</body>
:
</html>
Which is your input file and which is the referenced file? How is
the referencing done in order to look up your target match?
