Re: applying the same template to multiple tags

You have the syntax *almost* right.  The select attribute specifies a node
set that the node you're looking at is matched against.  You want that node
set to contain all menu, option, screen etc. nodes.  You can combine node
sets using the '|' operator, so try:

  <xsl:template match="menu | option | screen | ...">
    ...
  </xsl:template>

Hope that helps,
