I want to know in which circumstances such a template definition is useful.. Can somebody please provide an example where this has real practical use..? I use it sometimes. suppose you have two elements in your source <foo>xxx</foo> and <bar>xxx</bar> and you want foo to generate the same output as bar except that it has to be surrounded by <div class="foo"> ...</div>. One way is to have <xsl:template match="bar" name="bar"> <span><xsl:apply-templates/></span> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="foo"> <div class="foo"><xsl:call-template name="bar"/></div> </xsl:template> Of course, there are other ways to achieve this, but still this idiom comes in handy sometimes.
