Re: [xsl] Applying templates to all but descendant-or-self::

["Spencer Tickner" <spencertickner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jag,

Thanks for the post. The above stylesheet doesn't quite do it. It
drops the sectionnumber and sectiontext from the output. I should also
mention the reason I was using descendant-or-self:: in each of the
templates above is because <change> can be wrapped around any of the
elements, not just the descendants of <section>.

I'm still rather confused by the reason that <xsl:apply-templates
select="*[not(descendant-or-self::sectionnumber or
descendant-or-self::sectiontext)]"/> would not match the <change>
element. I wonder if you could shed any light on this?

Thanks,

Spencer
