Subject: XSL Question From: "Jeremie Miller" <jeremie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Jan 1998 03:09:23 -0600 |
I've just started writing a simple JavaScript based XSL arser( http://www.jeremie.com/xparse/xsl/ ), and only have one question so far. It seems like it would be so much easier to read, write, process, and understand basic XSL rules if there was a clear definition between the pattern and the action, like: <rule> <pattern> <target-element type="special"/> </pattern> <action> <DIV font-weight="bold"> <children/> </DIV> </action> </rule> In learning XSL from scratch, understanding the difference, or more, understanding what it means, was my first stumbling block. And in writing the XSL parser, it would make things just a little simpler. As I understand it, the pattern and the action are clearly completely separate parts of the rule, so why are all of their elements lumped together as children of the rule? I'm aware that XSL is only a proposal, and maybe not ready for discussion like this since it is due to change, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
