XML in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Name

xsl:include

Synopsis

<xsl:include   href = "URI" />

The xsl:include top-level element copies the contents of the xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform element found at the URI given by the href attribute. Unlike xsl:import, whether a template or other element comes from the including or the included stylesheet has absolutely no effect on the precedence of the various rules.

An included stylesheet may include another stylesheet. A stylesheet may not include a stylesheet that was already included, directly or indirectly; it is an error if A includes B, which includes A.

Attribute

href, required

The relative or absolute URI of the stylesheet to include. Relative URIs are resolved relative to the including stylesheet’s base URI.
