Re: [xsl] Combining entity references into a single document

2021-12-03 11:35:01
Assembling this is the job of the XML parser, not the XSLT processor. A simple 
<xsl:copy-of select="/`"/>, or the query ".", should do the job.

It won't work, of course, if the parser doesn't support DTDs -- for example 
that's true for all parsers we know of on Node.js. It also won't work if 
external entity expansion is disabled in the parser, which is increasingly 
often the case because of security paranoia.

Hi All,
 
I have an XML document generated from an Adobe FrameMaker book. It creates 
multiple XML files and refers to them with entities in the main XML file. Is 
there an XSLT 3 mechanism for combining everything into a single XML 
document? Any pointers would be appreciated.
