RE:RE: closing a template inside a table, forbidden?

Sorry for this question, found my thinking-error, it seems that I'm sometimes a little bit dumb. :-)

Now this works fine:

-- CODE ---
<xsl:template match="article">
...
<table width="610" height="48" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="sectBackground">	
		<xsl:apply-templates select="./title[@lang=$lang]"/>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="sect1[@lang = $lang or not(@lang)]"/>
           </table>
           
           <xsl:apply-templates select="../note[@lang= $lang]"/>
           
  </xsl:template>
		
	<!-- ************SECT1 PROCESSING CONTENT ************** -->
		
	<xsl:template match="article/sect1[@lang= $lang or not(@lang)]"> 
		 
		 		  <xsl:apply-templates/>
			
	</xsl:template>
...

---CODE---

I hope you will forgive :-)
