<xsl:template match="*" mode="choose">

    <xsl:when test="$print = 'yes'">
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="print"/>

Peter,

For this to work I would need to replace all occurances of:

<xsl:apply-templates/>

with:

<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="$print = 'yes'">
     <xsl:apply-templates mode="print"/>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Not such a big deal I suppose, especially if I isolate all the cases
where a call to a print template is possible.

I guess I was just hoping for some kind of workaround.

cheers
