[xsl] RE: Template matching with multiple namespaces

["Laura Porter" <Laura.Porter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tony,

You need to use the union operator, i.e.:

<xsl:apply-templates select=".//lml:LandXML | .//lml10:LandXML" />

Note that | is not an "or" operator - it creates a union of the two
nodesets.

As a side note, use of // is inefficient - don't use it if you can avoid
it.

Laura.

Hi,

I have a stylesheet which works with one namespace, prefix say 'lml'. I
now want the same stylesheet to work on documents under another
namespace, say lml10.

Here is my namespace defs...

<xsl:stylesheet version=3D"1.0"
 xmlns:lml=3D...
 xmlns:lml10=3D...
 xmlns:msxsl=3D...
 xmlns:xsl=3D"...
 >

Now the stylesheet does, of course match nodes such as

<xsl:apply-templates select=3D".//lml:LandXML" />

But I want it to also match on

<xsl:apply-templates select=3D".//lml10:LandXML" />.

How can I set up some variable to allow me not to have to duplicate
code?

This doesn't work...NodeTest expected.
<xsl:apply-templates select=3D".//{$namespacevariable}:LandXML" />

Or is there a better way to get the one stylesheet to work over multiple
namespaces?

I am using XSLT 1.0 still because I need to use the MSXML parser 6.0.

Tony
