[xsl] Applying templates by selecting it

[Sylvain Hellegouarch <sh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I have the following simple stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="node">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now I have also the following XML document :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
    <a>hello there</a>
</root>

Everythong works fine and I do get :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    hello there

But if I change :

<xsl:apply-templates />

To :

<xsl:apply-templates select="a"/>

Then I don't get any output like if it didn't go into the 'a' template.

I'm sure I'm missing something really stupid here but can't see it (shame on
me).

Could you help me out please?

Thanks
- Sylvain
