What about --
<xsl:template match="insert">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[local-name()=current()]"/>
</xsl:template>
Won't that do it?

Hello everybody,
I am trying (without success, at the moment...) to do the following:
XML document:
...
<element_A>
textA textA textA
<insert>element_B</insert>
textA textA textA
</element_A>
<element_B>
textB textB textB
<insert>element_C</insert>
textB textB textB
</element_B>
<element_C>
textC textC textC
textC textC textC
</element_C>
....etc.
Desired output:
textA textA textA
textB textB textB
textC textC textC
textC textC textC
textB textB textB
textA textA textA
In other words, I would like to "link" elements to other elements, and
compose a
new document "recursively".
This is exactly the same behaviour that I may obtain by changing my "content
architecture", and putting all the text directly in the XSL, and then using
"xsl:call-template"s to include one block in another.
But if I do that I have to mix pure text with layout definitions (I want to
output HTML and FO from the XML) - and therefore I will have to maintain two
sets of documents.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
Thank you very much,
