Re: [xsl] Matching processing-instructions

[Geert Bormans <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

wrong, <xsl:apply-templates/> DOES hit child PIs

xml:
<foo>
    <?foo bar?>
</foo>

xslt:
   <xsl:template match="foo">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="processing-instruction()">
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>

result:
   <?foo bar?>

The reference Philipp added talks about the built-in template
It means that you need to have a template for the process-instruction()
But you were already having that

PIs are considered nodes

Hope this helps
