RE: [xsl] global filter

Hi Geert,

This might work for you:

<xsl:template match="*[@audience='restricted']" priority="10"><!-- suppress
--></xsl:template>

This should suppress any element with attribute audience='restricted'.
Increase the priority if you have other templates that use priority 10.

Subject: [xsl] global filter

Hi all,

Was wondering today if this would be the best approach...

I have an XML that could have an audience="restricted" on each an every
element, and depending on a global parameter, I want to filter out all of the
restricted content in my processing.

I would assume that if I had a common catch all template with a very high
priority, the process would always go there first, and I only need one
template with the filter logic.
next-match would then allow me to do the actual processing (if not restricted)
Seems like a use case for next-match, no?

I could actually have the same effect more or less if I had only one template
without a mode, and had all the other templates in a mode Is that correct, or
am I overlooking something?

Just wondering what the best approach would be in a filter that is allowed on
each and every element

Thanks

Geert
