Hi all,


I'm rather new to eXist and XML in general, i've searched the manuals,
the list archive, but could not find the solution i need.

I have different items that have some things in common, ie:
 - all items have <id>1234</id> tag
 - and all items have some reference tags, like <category
refid="987987987987"/> or <type refid="876876"/>

Now what i want to do is select these items from database by id,
transform them to XHTML and show to the user

i can select items by

for $r in //*[id='123'] return $r

as far as i understood, i can use transform:transform() to make
transformation to XHTML, but what i don't know how to handle is
reference resolving. How do i make transformation from

<category refid="123"/>

to

<category refid="123"/>CATEGORY NAME</category>

given i have a document listing all the categories by their refid?
