Subject: [xsl] When exactly is the current node changed? From: "Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 21:39:44 -0800 |
" A node is processed by finding all the template rules with patterns that match the node, and choosing the best amongst them; the chosen rule's template is then instantiated with the node as the current node"
It is not strictly specified when exactly the current node changes from the node that is current in the context in which the xsl:apply-templates is located, to one of the nodes of the node-set specified in the select attribute of the xsl:apply-templates instruction.
Will it be correct to think that the change of the current node happens when xsl:apply-templates is still being interpreted (before starting the interpretation of the selected matching template)?
Or is it correct that the current node changes only when the matching template has been instantiated?
While such a question may seem too academic, in practice the answer to it may influence the implementation of a particular XSLT processor or other XSLT-related tools.
