Subject: Re: [xsl] XSLT/XPath function references From: Jiri Jirat <Jiri.Jirat@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 08:14:04 +0200 |
Hello, in our reference (your Ref. 1) the XPath functions (defined in XPath recommendation) and XSLT functions (defined in XSLT recommendation) are shown together (to enable easier navigation??). Whether it belongs to XPath or XSLT functions is shown on top of each page in square brackets. Ref. no. 2.1 shows XPath patterns, not functions. XPath functions are listed in Ref. 2.2 and XSLT functions are not listed. To your second question: You can use any of these functions in predicates <xsl:apply-templates select="//*[any_function_here() ... ] or tests. I am sorry, if you have found our list of functions a little bit confusing.
