Subject: [2.7.7] : Direct Processing From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 09 Sep 1998 20:26:36 -0400 |
Is there a difference between the example shown in 2.7.7: <xsl:template match="/"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Customers</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE> <TBODY> <xsl:for-each select="customers/customer"> <TR> <TH> <xsl:process select="name"/> </TH> <xsl:for-each select="order"> <TD> <xsl:process-children/> </TD> </xsl:for-each> </TR> </xsl:for-each> </TBODY> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> </xsl:template> and (preserving the indentation): <xsl:template match="/"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Customers</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE> <TBODY> <xsl:process select="customer"/> </TBODY> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="customers/customer"> <TR> <TH> <xsl:process select="name"/> </TH> </TR> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="order"> <TD> <xsl:process-children/> </TD> </xsl:template> ? If not, is the "for-each" considered just an alternative representation of the same or is there somehow some performance difference? And if not, are there two techniques because one technique should be deprecated in deference to the other? I can see some users might prefer for-each over template because the root template could mimic the output almost in the entirety (as your very illustrative example shows) ... could this be the only "benefit"? ........
