Assuming your output is HTML, the easiest solution to this is a CSS stylesheet. However, in XSL, the easiest way to do it is simply to use apply-templates and literal result elements, thus: <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="title"> <h1 style="font-style: italic"><xsl:apply-templates/></h1> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="paragraph"> <p style="font-style: italic"><xsl:apply-templates/></p> </xsl:template> Perhaps I could help more if you told me what you are really trying to do. In HTML, you can nest elements or apply multiple styles through CSS, so I guess you are not writing HTML as your output. What is your actual desired output?

Here is what I try to achieve: Different types of elements all need to be surrounded by the same text. For example: I've XML: <base> <section> <title>the title</title> <paragraph>some text</paragraph> <paragraph>more text</paragraph> </section> <section> <title>the title</title> <paragraph>other text</paragraph> <paragraph>more other text</paragraph> <paragraph>and more text</paragraph> </section> </base> Now I want all text in titles and in paragraphs to be italic and in titles also to be bold. My first thought was to use call-template like this: <xsl:template match="title"> <xsl:call-template name="bold"> <xsl:call-template name="italic"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> But this is not the way to do this. I cannot however figure out or find the solution. The decoration that must be applied is much more complicated than bold or italic, but that is besides the point, I think. Here is my second try, but here is the problem that I cannot nest decorators, so bold and italic is not possible on the same element: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:call-template name="body"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:apply-templates /> <br/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="title"> <xsl:call-template name="bold" /> <br/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="paragraph"> <xsl:call-template name="italic" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="bold"> <b> <xsl:apply-templates/> </b> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="italic"> <i> <xsl:apply-templates/> </i> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="body"> <html> <body> <xsl:apply-templates /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Can anybody give me a pointer? Thanks in advance Lucas
