Abbouh,

At 09:12 AM 7/17/2003, you wrote:
i have two type of  input document(foprdoc and genericdoc)
and i want to use one xsl file for them.
and  i don't want to test each time if the input file is a  foprdoc or
genericdoc
(because i must use foprdoc or genericdoc in my xpath expressions)
so i use a variable like:
<xsl:variable name="racine">
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="/genericdoc">
  <xsl:value-of select="/genericdoc"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="/foprdoc">
  <xsl:value-of select="/foprdoc"/>
  </xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

and i call
<xsl:apply-templates select="$racine/doccontent/docbody"/>

Where does this apply-templates appear?


It looks to me as though you could easily provide your stylesheet with two templates to match the two different document elements, as in

<xsl:template match="genericdoc">
  <!-- or match="/genericdoc" if you want to constrain the match
       to the document element -->
  ...
</xsl:template>

and

<xsl:template match="foprdoc">
  ...
</xsl:template>

which would allow you to customize the behavior of the stylesheet to your heart's content.

The error you get from trying to process a result-tree-fragment would thus never come up.

On the other hand, if in either case, you only want to process the /*/doccontent/docbody element, what's the problem again? (I don't see where the behavior is meant to vary based on the type of document.)

Cheers,
Wendell
