Re: [xsl] extend an xslt template defined elsewhere?

["Anthony Ettinger" <anthony@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, works great...but I don't see a difference between
apply-templates and apply-imports (at least  in my context):


file: customization_layer.xslt
    <xsl:import
href="/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/xhtml/docbook.xsl"/>
    <xsl:include href="custom.xsl" />

file: custom.xsl
<xsl:template match="glossentry/glossdef">
    <dd>
        <xsl:if test="@role != ''">
            <xsl:attribute name="class">
                <xsl:value-of select="@role"/>
            </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:apply-templates /> <!-- or apply-imports works too here? -->
    </dd>
</xsl:template>


Both apply-templates and apply-imports works from within the
custom.xsl  -- could this be a problem?
