XSLT document() Function
The document function is used to access nodes in an external XML document. The external XML document must be valid and parsable.
One way to use this function is to look up data in an external document. For example, we want to find the value Celsius from a Fahrenheit value, and we reference a document that contains some precomputed results:
<xsl:value-of select="document('celsius.xml')/celsius/result[@value=$value]"/>Syntax
