Fw: Match pattern

["Oren Ben-Kiki" <oren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The pattern match="*[SomeElement]" does work, while match=".[SomeElement]"
doesn't, at least in my version of XT. Thanks for everyone who replied.

It still seems to me as though "./SomeElement" should be a valid match
pattern, since I can't find a restriction of match petterns to absolute
patterns. As Dieter correctly pointed out, however, this is equivalent to
"SomeElement" under the current rules.

Does anyone know why the rule isn't simply that:

<xsl:template match="pattern">...</xsl:template>

Would be equivalent to:

<xsl:template match=everything>
<xsl:if test="pettern">...</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

What's the advantage of the current rule?

Share & Enjoy,
