Definitions and usages
The document() function is used to access nodes in external XML documents. External XML documents must be legal and resolvable.
One way to use this function is to find data in an external document. For example, we wanted to find a value of Celsius that corresponds to a degree Fahrenheit value, and we visited a document that contains the estimated value:
<xsl:value-of select="document('celsius.xml')/celsius/result[@value=$value]"/>
