You just need to add another template to match the 'filling' tags. Then when apply templates is used, it will find the most specific template for a particular node. so just add this to your identity transform <xsl:template match="filling"/> Colin On Sun, 26 Dec 2004 20:41:48 +0000, ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all. > > Here is a predicament.

This "about to" is causing me problems. How does the algorithm tell what node it's currently in?
