No, I asked what your merged XML looks like, not the output you want to
obtain, you already stated that in your original email... so, let us first
get things clear:

Given your merger xml:

<files>
	<file>home.xml</file>
	<file>Event.xml</file>
</files>

Would it be something like this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<files>
<file>
<Page id="somepageid" version="1.0" published="1.0" current="1.0">
	<Content>
		<Local local="en-US">
			...lots of sub stuff in "English"
		</Local>
		<Local local="es-ES">
		...lots of sub stuff in "Spanish"
		</Local>
	</Content>
</Page>
</file>
<file>
<Page>
	<News>
		<event>
			<Title local="en-US">English name</Title>
			<Title local="es-ES">Spanish name</Title>
		<details>some non language specific details</details>
		</event>
		<event>
			<Title local="en-US">English name</Title>
			<Title local="es-ES">Spanish name</Title>
		<details>some non language specific details</details>
		</event>
	</News>
</Page>
</file>
</files>

Like this,
<Page id="somepageid" version="1.0" published="1.0" current="1.0">
		<Content>
			<Local local="en-US">
				...lots of sub stuff in "English"
			</Local >

Hi John,

1. Note that your page.xml is not well-formed (you must close the 2nd
<Local> node element).

2. Your xpath expression is also not correct (the 'id' should be 'local'):

<xsl:copy-of
select="document(file)//Page/Content/Local[@local='en-US']/text()"/>

3. You could simply pass in a parameter 'local' with values either 'en-US'
or 'en-ES', and in your stylesheet using <xsl:if> or <xsl:choose> you can
filter out what you do not want in the output.

Q: What does your merged XML look like?

Subject:  Merge Question Take 2 (complex)

Ok I have successfully merged 2 documents that had the same Root namespace.
But now I have a more complext Merge question.
Now one of my xml docs has the following sytax


Page.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<Page id="somepageid" version="1.0" published="1.0" current="1.0">
		<Content>
			<Local local="en-US">
				...lots of sub stuff in "English"
			</Local >
			<Local local="es-ES">
			...lots of sub stuff in "Spanish"
		</Content>
	</Page>

Event.xml
<Page>
	<News>
		<event>
			<Title local="en-US">English name</Title>	
			<Title local="es-ES">Spanish name</Title>	
		<details>some non language specific details</details>
		</event>
		<event>
			<Title local="en-US">English name</Title>	
			<Title local="es-ES">Spanish name</Title>	
		<details>some non language specific details</details>
		</event>
	</News>
</Page>

Ok I have a merge xml too
<files>
	<file>home.xml</file>
	<file>Event.xml</file>
</files>

Merger.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="files">
    <Page>
      <xsl:copy-of
select="document(file)//Page/Content/Local[@id='en-US']/*"/>
    </ Page >
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And I want to merge them together, BUT I want only certain information in
this merger so that the output is like this. This is what it would look like
if I only wanted the English information.


<Page id="somepageid" version="1.0" published="1.0" current="1.0">
		<Content>
			<Local local="en-US">
				...lots of sub stuff in "English"
			</Local >
		</Content>
<News>
		<event>
			<Title local="en-US">English name</Title>	
			<details>some non language specific
details</details>
		</event>
		<event>
			<Title local="en-US">English name</Title>	
			<details>some non language specific
details</details>
		</event>
	</News>
</Page>



Is this possible like this. Would it be more possible if I changed the way
the xml is in the page.xml and event.xml docs?
Thanks
john
