xslt order of template match
Hello Guru's

I have a problem with some display, and must have misunderstood something fundamental, but let me explain:

I have some input XML (simplified):

<Root>
 <Outer Cond="true">
   <Inner Cond="true"/>
   <Inner Cond="true"/>
 </Outer>
 <Outer Cond="true">
   <Inner Cond="true"/>
   <Inner Cond="true"/>
   <Inner Cond="true"/>
   <Inner Cond="true"/>
 </Outer>
</Root>


My stylesheet is something like this:


<xsl:template match="Root">
 <xsl:apply-templates select="Outer[Cond='true']"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Outer[Cond='true']">
 <b>Outer element</b><br/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="Inner[Cond='true']"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Inner[Cond='true']">
 <i>Inner element</i><br>
</xsl:template>



The result I want (and expected) is:
<b>Outer element</b>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<b>Outer element</b>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>

But what I get is this:
<b>Outer element</b>
<b>Outer element</b>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>


If I had called Outer, then Inner from Root, I would expect the last result, but I tried structuring the code so it should parse deeply.


How do I get the first result, preferibly using template match.

Sincerely
Ragulf Pickaxe :)
