How can I do this in XSLT?
Image via Wikipedia
I have a very simple (single relation) database, of news stories that I export to xml, so I get something like this:
<?xml?>
<headline>
<top>This is a story </top>
<summary>Some summary of the story</summary>
<full_text>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed pharetra sagittis risus a ultrices. In a lectus eu nunc scelerisque gravida ac elementum felis. Phasellus. </full_text>
</headline>
And so on….
What I want to do is use an XSL stylesheet to convert this into some HTML where the top line is printed, then the summary and then a link to the full text, which is at the bottom of the document.
Writing the XSL that will extract the top line and the summary is easy, but how can I get a link to what is, in effect, some appended text at the end of the document? Is it even possible?

XML: any use?
I stumbled across the site XMLSucks.com just now when reading a comment on slashdot about the idea that there was an FBI mandated “backdoor” in OpenBSD.
Right now I am working on some coursework with XML and so the site has my sympathy. For sure, XML has its uses - SVG
But freely mixing it with HTML on the web? I am inclined to (mostly) agree with the statement on the site:
XML is bloated. XMLis fugly. XML is only “human-readable” if you’re willing to stretch the definition of “human-readable.” The same goes for the proposed bloatware of HTML5. Anyone looking at the spec must be shaking their heads. Sure, it’s better than the now-abandoned xhtml 2.0, but that’s not saying much. I
