Re: [xsl] Creating exception in processing a node

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Write template rules like this:

<xsl:template match="p | p/name | p/title">
<!-- not really needed because this is the default -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="note | bibl">
<!-- do nothing -->
</xsl:template>
