No. XSLT template rules follow an event-based processing model. A template rule says "if X is encountered, do this". The order of processing is determined by the order of events, not the textual order of the rules. There's one exception: if you have two template rules that match the same "event" (i.e. the same node in the source document), it's technically an error, but the processor can resolve the ambiguity by choosing the rule that comes last in the stylesheet. > > 2)Will the change made by one template affect the source tree? Nothing done by a stylesheet ever affects the source tree. Templates write new nodes to the result tree, without changing the source tree.
