Subject: Re: [xsl] Same XPath expression with diferent results From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 12:48:40 GMT |
This is matching the three menus under the root. So if i understand you i have to have <xsl:template match="menu"> (do lot of things) <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> to process all the <menu> in the tree? well if one of the things in (do lot of things) doesn't include processing the children of menu then the children of menu won't be processed unless some other template processes them. For example if you had <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//menu"/> then this template would apply templates to _all_ menu elements not just top level menus and so they would all be processed. This style is appropriate if you are essentially wanting to "unnest" the document structure and process each menu separately. Normally however the result needs to reflect the nested structure of the source, so you just get each template to process its children, but if you want to process the whole document every template must process _all_ its children.
