# xslt:unparsed-text

xslt:unparsed-text(string $uri) → string

Function signature

$uri | xs:string
Result | xs:string

Returns the contents of an external text file, given its URI. Saxon attempts to infer the encoding. First it looks in the HTTP headers if available. Then it examines the start of the file looking first for a byte-order-mark, and failing that for an XML declaration. If none of this works, it assumes the encoding is UTF-8.
