Alan,
At 04:44 PM 3/26/2009, you wrote: Out of interest (and to facilitate further understanding) would you be kind enough to illustrate how you would approach my filtering problem with template matching rather than with xsl:choose? It's likely that you could inspire a small friendly competition along those lines, but might you post a small sample of input data, with a prose spec and/or sample of desired results, to encourage those who might be inclined to try their hand? As I said, your problem isn't the kind of problem that lends itself to templates: it's more of a "pull" than a "push". Learn about this distinction at (just a more-or-less random grab) http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/07/06/tr.html http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xdpshpul.html http://www.eddiewelker.com/2008/11/25/push-style-xslt-vs-pull-style/ Nonetheless it's quite possible that someone practiced in the arts could make some nice template-driven logic for your case. This would depend on the details of your spec. Keep in mind that template matching really becomes useful as transformation problems become complex; when they're simple there's not always much evident gain. Cheers, Wendell
