Question

Merge 2 XML files, merge keys and apply it as a template

Answer 1

A:

From what I understand you are saying the files should be linked based on their position as XML child nodes. In which case you want something like:

<xsl:for-each select="menu">
  <a href="{.}">
    <xsl:variable name="position"><xsl:value-of select="position()"/></xsl:variable>
    <xsl:for-each select="$param//menu[position() = $position]">
      <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </a>
</xsl:for-each>

Answer 2

+3 A:

Using match templates you can do the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:variable name="localization" select="document('index.en.xml')" />
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>Test</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="menu">
    <a href="{a}">
      <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()" />
      <xsl:value-of select="$localization/language/header/menu[$pos]/title"/>
    </a>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

@0xA3: This is answer is rigth, but I think it has a typo: `apply-imports` should be `apply-templates`...

@Alejandro: Thanks for the hint. It probably happened due to auto-completion and I didn't notice it because it works too (but makes no sense).

@0xA3: Also, +1 for an answer ussing pattern matching.

It's possible to have a variable in document()? I've tried but seems not to work. Like: `<xsl:variable name="locale" select="language/language" />` and then `<xsl:variable name="localitzation" select="document('index.$locale.xml')" />` . Thanks in advance!

@Isern Palaus: It is possible, but it requires you to use the `concat()` function to concatenate the strings explicitly (that's different from languages like PHP or Perl): `<xsl:variable name="localitzation" select="document(concat('index.', $locale, '.xml')" />`

0xA3 2010-09-10 15:11:53

@Isern Palaus: Also may need (with some processors) the use of p/2 `fn:document` for base URI like `document(concat('index.', $locale, '.xml'),/)`
