Thanks Mike, It was the slash "/" ;-(
This feature could be very useful for some mathematical calculations,
accessing the database for some profile information, or something like that. You
think it has sense to use this external function to directly add some nodes to
the result tree? If so, is the way to do that dependant to the parser? Another
possibility could be to return the elements as a String, isn't it? Finally
another question, all this external Java functions, should be static? I don't
see the way to instanciate a class in a XSL file....
Thanks for your responses and your time,
Cheers,
Omar
