RE: template match for subelement throughout tree

The location of the template only matters if there are multiple templates that match the node.  Could that be the case?  Maybe something like a match on "table[type!='3']/tr/*" in your stylesheet as well?  

There is a precedence amongst the templates, most specific to least and then from the bottom of the stylesheet to the top, but I've never fully understood what determines "most specific", nor trusted the implementation of this across XSLT processors.

Subject:  template match for subelement throughout tree



I'm trying to apply this very simple template:

	<xsl:template match="para">
	<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
	</xsl:template>

I have an html structure with an <xsl:apply-templates/> in the body, then I
apply other templates to create 3 tables after that. The <para> template
works within the last table structure but doesn't affect the entire doc...I
would like ALL <para> elements to be effected.

I tried "//para" but clearly am missing something...I though location of the
template didn't matter...just the match node?

Sorry, new at this...

Thanks, Kathy
