XSLT-Problem: How to copy nodes from template to variable and calling this variable to getting nodes

["Sticker, Markus / Kuehne + Nagel / Ham MI-EC /external" <ex...@Kuehne-Nagel.com>]

Hello,

I have a problem to fill a variable with nodes from a template.
After that I want to call this variable to place this nodes.
But what I get is a long String.
Thanks for your help
best regards

Markus

That's probably because you do not yet know that you want xsl:copy-of
instead of xsl:value-of.

Be aware that Xalan is XSLT 1.0; for 2.0, you need Saxon, Altova,
XQSharp, or, IIRC, some Intel or IBM enterprise package.

Note that *as="..."* is a 2.0 feature.

And with 2.0, you wouldn't need the node-set extension, because in 2.0
the RTF (result tree fragment) has been abolished, and your variable
would be a full-fledged node set.

Drop the part I snipped.

Try this:

  xsl:copy-of select="/a:doc/a:Headlines"/>

Or this, if the doc is not your primary input:

  <xsl:copy-of select="document( $doc-uri )/*/*"/>
