Subject: RE: [xsl] RE: New ContextNode Question From: "Michael Fitzgerald" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 09:52:08 -0700 |
XPath describes or treats an XML document as a bunch of nodes, such as element nodes. XSLT instruction elements, such as apply-templates, return a node-set or a list of nodes from a processed XML document. The current node is the current node being processed in the node list. current() and . return this current node. The current node is XSLT terminology and the context node is XPath terminology for the same thing. (A node processed in a predicate or filter [] is the current node at the time the predicate is processed.) When in doubt, appeal to the court of last resort for all things XSLT, namely, Mike Kay's /XSLT Programmer's Reference, 2nd Edition/. -Mike Fitzgerald -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of abi ashiru Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 5:52 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] RE: New ContextNode Question Hi All, I'm a new arrival to XSLT Kingdom. I would like someone to explain in a layman terms the different between context and current node and their practical applications.
