Re: [xsl] Applying templates by selecting it

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sylvain,

Also, that template matching "node" isn't doing anything. Try removing it. 
You'll get the same result.

This is because you have no element named "node", so this template is never 
matched.

You might have been trying to match "node()", but as you've discovered, 
this is unnecessary (and in fact will often interfere with what you want).

Cheers,
Wendell
