Hi I'm hoping someone here knows xml. I'm trying to pull in a .xml file on the fly and I don't seem to be able to get it. The filename is contained in a variable, but I can't find a way to get the variables' value to be read as an input file This works for a prenamed entity, but I can't find a way to create that on the fly either. I've also tried xlinks, but it seems xsltproc doesn't understand that, so I'm pretty short on ideas. Anyone???
