Include contents of a text file

[jeffward]

I am using an xsl stylesheet to output my XML to HTML and would like to conditionally include the contents of a text file, for example: -

....html content here...

<xsl:if test="something='true'">
show contents of .txt file here
</xsl:if>

....html content here...

This is not possible just using XSL. XSL can only deal with XML files. If you converted your text file to XML there would be no problem:

<xsl:if test="something = true()">
  <xsl:value-of select="document('mytextfile.xml')"/>
</xsl:if>

You could use an iframe, or textarea to show the text...

<xsl:if test="File">
  <iframe src="{File}" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</xsl:if>

But that's just in a web browser...
