Subject: RE: [xsl] value-of or apply-templates From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 18:51:49 -0000 |
# # A question on style: if you have a document which consists of a series of # repeating structures (such as a table of records or a simple document of # paragraphs) should you use: # # <xsl:apply-templates /> # # or: # # <xsl:value-of select="."> # There's not much to choose between them. But it may be worth observing that in XSLT 2.0 they're subtly different: apply-templates will process the text nodes, whereas value-of will give you the typed value converted to a string. If the data is "10.00" and the schema type is xs:decimal, then apply-templates will give you "10.00" while value-of will give you "10".
