RE: Match pattern should get child content but gets si

First, my thanks to all of you who've replied!  OK, my understanding has
advanced by a small step.  I read your posts, and section 5.8 and know that
there is such a thing as a default template...

I'm just not sure how to override it!  Would it be an additional template
with something like  match="not(text())"??

I'm alway willing to be wrong (good thing, too!).  I added the string "=="
to the end of your template to mark the end of the template's contribution
so it was even more clear, and sure enough, the OOPS comes from the default
template while the Hello and World do come from his.

I use the null template from time to time to suppress unwanted activation of
the default template, and I see that I forgot that it (my null template)
would take precedence.

This example has caused me to check over what I thought was my understanding
of how templates are found to be matched.  It seems that I formed some of my
ideas when I was first getting started with xslt, didn't get some matches I
expected, and also didn't really understand the Rec.  Time for some
updating.

Thanks,
