Using msxsl:node-set() to Process Result-Tree Fragments

A result tree fragment is a part of a result tree that is not a node set. The following is an example.

The <color hue="red">red</color> color is <value brightness="bright">bright</value>.

To process a result tree fragment, you must convert it to a node set. MSXML provides the msxsl:node-set() extension function to do the conversion.

• The following topics illustrate the use of the msxsl:node-set() extension function.
