Re: [xsl] need xsl template for this xml and html

[Matthieu Ricaud-Dussarget <matthieu.ricaud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Why not matching the ref element to make the link :

<xsl:template match="item">
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ref">
<a href="country.aspx?id={@id}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ref/b">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Note that I never use <xsl:value-of> here, just <xsl:apply-templates/> 
which by default display the text just like <xsl:value-of> when current 
node is text.
One of the default XSLT template is :
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
So you don't need to write it.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Matt.
