Hello,

Don't worry, that's how XSL works. You can declare template rules so that
they will only fire if elements are in particular contexts, or so that do
they do so all the time.

For example:

<xsl:template match="display-type">
<!--rules here -->
</xsl:template>

will fire for all display-type elements in your document, whereas:

<xsl:template match="display-type[@value='bullets']">
<!--rules here -->
</xsl:template>

and

<xsl:template match="example/display-type">
<!--rules here -->
</xsl:template>

will only fire in particular contexts.

I hope that helps. Do take a look at the XPath spec @ http://w3.org/TR/xpath

Subject: Xsl problem (template matching)


Hi

I am newbie in xsl.
My problem is:-
I want to apply a particular template where ever that particular node exist
i.e independent of its parent elements.


for e.g
<example>
<name>xxxy</name>
<display-type value="bullets">
<training>xyz</training>
</display-type>
<section>aaaa</section>
<display-type value="bullets">
<topic>Hello</topic>
</display-type>
</example>

I want to match (display-type) node and use the same template whereever it
is present.
I hope u understand. Can Anyone suggest the solution.
Thanks in Advance

With Regards
Bhavesh
