Hi Anna and Team! CC-ing this message to Cocoon Dev list, cause it raises a more general requirement for possibility to combine input modules with other input modules in sitemap substitution values (see below for a use-case).

Quite natural desire. Unfortunately, this is not supported (I hope yet), but it would be very useful. > This is probably very stupid question, but I can't find an answer. Don't bother so much about stupid questions, if it were really stupid then I'd simply ignore it ;) > Can somebody please explain me this or redirect me to some URL with > explanations? > (I read the http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/modules.html, but > it just explains the concept of modules, it doesn't have the example that I > need). Yes, that's true. The documentation for Input module is very short, but I hope that the sample (/samples/modules) demonstrates most of the possibilities.
