Re: [xsl] can templates be nested?

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Dmitri,

no, templates can not be nested. But therefore you have 
<xsl:apply-templates/> to apply a template on the selected node. There 
were you want to have the <a href="mailto:"/>, write 
<xsl:apply-templates select="../label/person"/>.

But there is one problem, you don't have a <person/> in your xml 
example. You @email is in the second xml at the <track/>-element. So 
maybe you only need to write the content of your first template copy to 
your second one.

(Your code is a little bit confusing.)

Regards,

Joerg
