I have the following rule in my xsl stylesheet. <xsl:template match="Para"> <p"> <xsl:apply-templates select="Menu|Table|WindowID|Illustration|Prompt|ErrMsg|text()"/> </p> </xsl:template> and it successfully matches and applies rules for each of the templates specified in the "select" expression. For example, the following rule for "Menu" is matched: <xsl:template match="Menu"> <xsl:if test="contains(.,'1,1,4,1')"> THIS IS <i>REALLY</i> MENU 1,4,1,1 </xsl:if> <strong style="font-family: arial; color:green"><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></strong> </xsl:template> However, if I change the rule to: <xsl:template match="Para"> <p> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </p> </xsl:template> then no templates are matched. Why aren't the Menu, Table and so on rules matched, as well as others? I thought that the "*" was a universal selector, and so should get everything. What is it that I don't understand here. Thanks.
