Florent, That's a decent philosophy, but the real-world problem is that you usually have large chunks of data within your source document that you don't want in your output. If you apply-templates to all children indiscriminately when you only actually want to process a certain subset of child nodes, then you have a high probability that the built-in templates will catch that unwanted data, resulting in unwanted text everywhere in your result, interspersed with the text you did want. Also, as I had said in the previous response, template match patterns must be context-free. If you need to select a node-set that requires a context, you're limited to apply-templates. ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Florent Georges [mailto:lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 8:40 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Problem with xsl:template using XSLT 1.0 Scott Trenda wrote: Hi > Remember that your <xsl:template/> elements should match > fairly generically (match="player" in this case), and your > <xsl:apply-templates/> elements should be where you narrow > down your selection. Weird, personnally I would have said the opposite. A template rule focuses on how dealing with the current node, and delegates how dealing with other nodes to other rules. One natural way (but there are others) to handle complexity is then to apply templates to all children and let template rules to handle differently different matches. Off course, that supposes that there is a specific place in a template rule to put an instruction "apply templates to all children."
