Intersection of nodes

The "intersect" operator takes two sequences of nodes as operands and returns a sequence containing all the nodes that occur in both operands.

XSLT

            <xsl:output  method="xml"
                        indent="yes"
                        omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

            <xsl:template  match="/aaa">
                  <xxx>
                        <xsl:value-of  select="bbb intersect ccc"/>
                  </xxx>
                  <yyy>
