[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: decorator / wrapper design pattern
 Hello Lucas,
It sounds (to me at least) very much like you want
to apply mutliple tags via XSLT. There is a really great
write-up of how someone solved this on the following link;
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/multitags.html
Its a lot more in-depth than any solution I could
give, and infact, I merely (when I need to do this) exactly
specify something like;
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title|paragraph">
<i><xsl:apply-templates /></i>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
<i><b><xsl:apply-templates /></b></i>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
use that and you should get a hint as to how apply-templates
works on matches ;>
regards
Stef
(ps. I am still learning this crazy thing called XSLT,
so any mistakes, feel free to scream and point :)
