Including a plain text file with XSLT 1.0
document, include, plaintext, xslt, xslt-1.0
Solution
However, perhaps I missed something?
No, XSLT 1.0 cannot access the content of a non-xml text file without using an extension function.
One way around this is to pass the string as a global parameter to the transformation.
Problem
How can I include the content of a plain text file in a result document from within an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet? I.e., just like `document()`, but without parsing it: ``` <xsl:value-of select="magic-method-to-include-plaintext(@xlink_href)" /> ``` I am almost sure, that this doesn't work without extension, because: there is a special XPath function defined for this in XSLT/XPath 2.0: ``` <xsl:value-of select="unparsed-text(@xlink:href, 'UTF-8')"/> ``` the XSLT FAQ only lists a Java extension to achieve this via EXSLT However, perhaps I missed something?
