xslt:document

xslt:document(item* $srcval1) → node*

Function signature

$uri	item *
Result	node() *

Loads one or more documents identified by their URIs. URIs are handled by the URIResolver in the same way as the doc() function.

XSLT 2.0 Specification

Note:Saxon makes no attempt to determine the media type of the resource representation (which is not available from the JAXP URIResolver). Instead, it simply assumes text/xml. If the fragment identifier is a valid NCName, it is assumed to be the ID of a node in the document, which is then located using the id() function: if no node is found, the result is an empty sequence. If the fragment identifier is not a valid NCName, it is silently ignored and the document node is returned.

xslt:document(item* $srcval1, node* $srcval2) → node*

Function signature

$uri	item *
$base	node() *
Result	node() *

Loads one or more documents identified by their URIs, using the base URI of the node given in the second argument to resolve any relative URIs. URIs are handled by the URIResolver in the same way as the doc() function.

XSLT 2.0 Specification

Note:Check the type of the second argument against the latest spec.
