Hi James,

It'd be way better, instead of for-eaching over the entire set of $tags/tagsDecl/tagUsage, you simply applied templates to them.

Then you could have a template for any kind of tag you expect (match="tagUsage[@gi='div']", etc), plus one to catch any tags you didn't expect.

It's a perfect example of what Dimitre and Evan were talking about in the thread earlier this week, that starts at

Cheers,

Hiya,

I tried to knock up a quick xslt script which would take any script as
its input and generate a very basic xslt stylesheet template.  I.e.
produce something quickly which I could then
edit to make more specific.  Since I already had a script which did an
element count, I stuck that into a variable, and then use the content
in that variable to produce a template for each element name.  (Ok, I
know that wasn't the most efficient way, just what occured to me first
when I threw it together).  Having done that, what is the best way to
include extra rules for specific elements it may or may not come
across.  I've done this by adding <xsl:choose>
for the specific instances.  Better suggestions?

<xsl:for-each select="node()">
<tagsDecl>
<xsl:for-each select="//*[generate-id(.)=generate-id(key('gis',name(.))[1])]">

name(.)))" /></tagUsage>
