OK, I don't follow the logic of that, unless its re-use, but if that's the need; nonDBFile1.xml xslt takes it to DBFile1.xml simply include the latter, then as part of your processing chain generate it prior to processing as docbook. > > The only examples I could find of dynamic transformation of XML, were > transforms to XHTML by a web browser by adding a stylesheet reference in the > XML file, itself.
