RE: [xsl] Newbie issue with apply-templates and output

<xsl:template match="element">

  <temp><xsl:value-of select="."/></temp>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

according to this template, for every "element" node, the processor will produce and <temp> node which content is resume by ".//text()". That is "heading1" for example in your case. After this, it (the processor) will call all descendant node of "element" and then apply a defaut template to those for which there is no template defined. That's why "heading1" appears after <temp> node. you can read "XSLT programer's reference, wrox press isbn: 1-861005-06-7" for more information about default processing. change <xsl:apply-template/> to <xsl:apply-template select="*"/> for precluding appearance of "heading x" text node.

Hope this help

Hi,

I'm quite new to all this XSL stuff and have now got very confused with
what's happening with the output using my XSL - it's dumping out the
text from nodes even tough I've not specified in the XSL to do this. The
code (xml & xsl) is given below with the output - and I'm confused why
it's output 'heading 1' etc twice, and why 'I'm here' is being output at
all. How can I change my xsl so it only outputs the headings once, and
the extra text isn't displayed at all?

It's probably obvious to everyone else - but not to me! :-(

Any help/explanation much appreciated,
Alex
 --------------------
Here's the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<report>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</report>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="element">
  <temp><xsl:value-of select="."/></temp>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="body">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

And here is the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
	<element>heading 1</element>
	<element>heading 2</element>
	<body>
		<element>heading 3</element>
		<element>heading 4</element>
		I'm here
	</body>
</html>

But the output I'm getting is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<report>
	<temp>heading 1</temp>
	heading 1
	<temp>heading 2</temp>
	heading 2
	<temp>heading 3</temp>
	heading 3
	<temp>heading 4</temp>
	heading 4
	I'm here
</report>
