AW: AW: exlt set.distinct.template.xsl ?

Thanks Jenni,

for explaining how to handle correctly your templates.

I have begin last july designing with xsl for the frontend of a business
application on my job. Maybe you should consider, to put this part of your
explanation in your how to do page, because i think, i am not the only one,
which have had trouble, to fit all together in a working example. Probably
is enough to illustrate after your sentence, that it shall be used in mode
modus, with  <xsl:template match="node" mode="set:modul"> .The problem often
is that the lenguage involved at this kind of sites, never mind, what is it,
Js, xsl, xhtml, perl, cgi, etc, it´s so specific, that you must learn first
the vocubary, before understanding it.

Thanks for your patience,
