This is the same as a contract. ;-) You may want to use <forrest:properties/> to pass it to your contract. That would get rid of the document() fct. You need to add a custom sitemap to your project. There should be a match like <map:match pattern="extra.xml"> <map:generate src="{project:content.xdocs}/new.xml"/> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> Then you can use: <forrest:contract name="content-extra"> <forrest:properties contract="content-extra"> <forrest:property name="content-extra" nugget="get.nugget.extra"> <url>/extra.xml</url> </forrest:property> </forrest:properties> </forrest:contract> See the content-feeder.ft for more information how to match the content but basicly you will add to your contract something like: <xsl:template name="content-extra-head" > <xsl:param name="content-extra"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$content-extra/document/header/*"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="content-extra-body" > <xsl:param name="content-extra"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$content-extra/document/body/*"/> </xsl:template> That should do exactly the same like you implemented it but without the document(). > > >BTW why are you using > >xsl:for-each > >select="document('../../../cfas-new/src/documentation/content/xdocs/extra.xml') > > > > > I decided to show my extreme lack of XSL coding skills to the general > public ;).
