Subject: Re: [xsl] How could I detect/prevent a file not found exception in
document()?

A set of templates which are used to fill in the clickable text of a
cross-reference are occasionally failing for me with a "file not found"
exception. The processor we are using for this is Saxon but I'm hoping
that there may be a way to code round the problem that is not
processor-specific, so I am posting the relevant part of it here
rather than on the Saxon list.
The stylesheet containing these templates is currently XSL 1.0 because
an extensive array of stylesheets include it, and some of them have to
be XSL 1.0. But I could easily do a separate XSL 2.0 version if that
helped avoid this issue.
In general Saxon 9 supports the function doc-available, like any other
processor supporting XSLT/XPath 2 and later so using e.g.
<!-- can't find the file/id, so need a bit of magic: use the
cache document from the previous build -->
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:variable name="cachefile">
<xsl:call-template name="cache-filename">
<xsl:with-param name="pathname" select="$linkfile" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="cachedlink">
<!-- doc TWO -->
<xsl:if test="doc-available($cachefile)">
<xsl:for-each select="document($cachefile,/)">
might help.
With Saxon 9.8 or 9.9 and XSLT 3 you would also be able to use
`xsl:try/catch"
