Re: problems with apply-templates

  Hi, Thanks for the response I will try that.  How about when the first
  <xsl:apply-templates\> is called?  It seems that I cannot get this to
  just apply the following template specifically... any ideas?  I tried
  the following but maybe something is wrong here?


you used a similar wording in your original message and I didn't
understand what you meant then or now. I suspect that you have the
wrong mental model of how xslt is working.
When you use apply-templates you _never_ specify which templates are to
be applied (and there is no real notion of a "next" template, the order
of templates in the stylesheet  is not significant). apply-templates uses
a select expression which selects nodes in the input tree.

If you want to call  a block of code explictly then you want to use a
named template not a match template and use xsl:call-template rather
than apply-templates. However that isn't normally what you would want to
do for this kind of transform.

David
