Subject: [xsl] identity transform styles (was "Re [xsl] Change xml:lang ...") From: Syd Bauman <Syd_Bauman@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:58:58 -0400 |
Michael -- So you're saying that you prefer <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> to <xsl:template match="@*|*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> for the cases where attribute processing is minimal, right? May I ask if that is because it's more efficient, more elegant, more XSLT-ish, or just personal preference? Thanks! -- Syd, who always uses: <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> > Note, I generally use the element-only form of identity template > rather than the elements-and-attributes form in the common case > where all existing attributes are to be copied to the output, > without exception: or, as here, where the exception is easily > accommodated.
