Subject: RE: [xsl] Weird XPath evaluation differences between Saxon and Xalan From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 13:48:58 +0100 |
In XSLT 1.0, xsl:value-of when applied to a set of nodes gives you the value of the first node, and ignores the others. In XSLT 2.0, it gives you the values of all the nodes - by default space separated. If you run a 2.0 processor but specify version="1.0" you get backwards-compatible behavior, i.e. the 2.0 processor gives you the same result as a 1.0 processor.
