Calling a template from within an template

[Tony Fabian <tf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a number of tags (H1,H2,B,P ...) where I want to check if they have a
class and 
an id attribute. I have seperate templates for each element. Do I have to
repeat that code 
for every single element or can I store that code in a seperate (named? )
template and then 
include or call that template from within the template. (Does that make
sence?) 

Here is a snip of  my code:
<!-- existing code start --->
<xsl:template match="h1">       
        <xsl:if test =".[@class != '']">
        		<xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of
select="@class"/></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>

         <xsl:if test =".[@id != '']">
           <a>
          		<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
           </a>
        </xsl:if> 
	<xsl:apply-templates />	
</xsl:template>
<!-- existing code end --->


Here is what I really want to do:

<xsl:template match="h1">
	<h1>
       		<xsl:call-template name="stdTemplate" />        	
	</h1>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="h2">
	<h2>
       		<xsl:call-template name="stdTemplate" />        	
	</h2>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template name="stdTemplate">       
        <xsl:if test =".[@class != '']">
        		<xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of
select="@class"/></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>

         <xsl:if test =".[@id != '']">
           <a>
           		<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
           </a>
        </xsl:if> 
	<xsl:apply-templates />	
</xsl:template>


Any ideas?

Kind regards

Tony
