Re: Problem making a transformation

  The problem here is that i can't get it to select the <article> that has the
  attribute @layouttype = 3.

You are selecting that article:
 
<xsl:apply-templates select="article[@layouttype = '3']"

But your stylesheet shouldn't produce anything as

 <xsl:template mode="layouttype3">

only has a mode a template must have either a name or a match, otherwise
it will never be activated.

You need match="article" here. (In this example you don't need to
introduce a mode at all as you don't need multiple templates matching
this node, but perhaps that is just an artifact of you making a simple
example to post)
