Hello,
I've been thinking about the possibility of an XSLT transformation to multiple
result trees. I see that it is on the list for future version of XSLT, but was
wondering if a 'kludge' was possible now through the use of modes. I've
constructed a little demo, illustrating my idea, which may already be old news,
but it appeared as a novel idea to me.
I realize that what I've done is not really multiple trees, but it does become
multiple trees if you use a file-spliter to split out the two parts. I hope this
demo is of some help to someone. I guess I could have also simply made an
identity transform with mode="xml", saving me from making all the virtually
identical mode="xml" rules, but I'll likely want to actually transfrom the XML
output later on. For all its worth ....
Rich'd.
P.S. I do realize that output.xml isn't a well-formed document, as it is missing
a root element, but the point remains the same.
