Function Package: exsl.node-set.zip Function Syntaxnode-set exsl:node-set(object)
The purpose of the exsl:node-set function is to convert a result tree fragment into a node set. If the argument is a node set already, it is simply returned as is. If the argument to exsl:node-set is not a node set or a result tree fragment, then it is converted to a string as by the string() function, and the function returns a node set consisting of a single text node with that string value.
An implementation of this extension
function
in the EXSLT exsl namespace must conform to the behaviour described in this document.
