Hello,
I have a question concerning text nodes. If I have an xml file like
<root>
<e>text</e>
</root>
and a template like
<xsl:template match="e">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
than, the output will be "<e>text</e>".
Is the text insterted to the output by xsl:copy or by the build-in
template
<xsl:template match="text()|@*">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
?
During evaluation of applicable templates on a particular node, the most
specific template is chosen. If two or more templates is of the same
level of specification, then the template with the highest priority is
chosen. I have forgotten what happens if two templates cannot be
separated (a situaiton that I try to avoid), although a qualified guess
is that an XSLT 1.0 processor does something and an XSLT 2.0 processor
returns an error message. Anyway, in this case, the match="e" is more
specifc than match="text()|@*" so the first template is chosen.
regards,
Garvin
