Re: [xsl] Parameterizing an XML using a XSLT

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

        <xsl:template match="//Header/ID">

You should never start a match with // it doesn't change th enodes that
are matched, and just changes the default priority in somce cases. In
this case where you already have a / in the pattern it does nothing at
all.


Your simplest option is probably to do something like
 
   <xsl:template match="Reference">
                        ^^^^^^^^^^ no need for //
                                   probably no need for Body/Status/ either
            <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::Command='Add'">
                          <Reference><xsl:copy-of select="@*"
/>(ref)<xsl:number level="any"/></Reference>
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^        
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:otherwise>
                          <xsl:copy-of select="." />
                  </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:template>

You only want to copy the attributes in the case you are doing (ref) and
not in the other case?
