Subject: Re: [xsl] seriously trivial question about processing the root element From: Jeni Tennison <jeni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 09:57:20 +0000 |
Hi Robert, > more than one book i've been reading has presented examples of > processing an XML document whose document element is, say, <doc>, > with: > > <xsl:template match="/"> > <xsl:apply-templates select="doc"/> > </xsl:template> > > <xsl:template match="doc"> > ....etc etc ... The pattern that I tend to use is: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="doc" mode="html" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="doc" mode="html"> ... </xsl:template> In other words, I use the template matching the root node to start processing using a particular mode. This arrangement makes it easy to combine stylesheets. As Ken said, it also specifies the document element of the documents that you expect to be working with.
