xsl apply templates
Hi thanks, i did look at call-template before in my testing but
discarded it because it didnt output my foreach loop in the template
that i was calling.

But it does seem thats what i should be using, although im not sure
why the loop isnt being outputted -- and reading the specifications
didnt really make it any clearer :)

Bellow was the "main" template that i was hoping to output, it just
contains a test for-each loop.
Is it possible to have the template im calling output its content as i wanted?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:include href="layout.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="header.xsl"/>

<xsl:template match="releasepage" name="main" >
	<div>A table for the main template</div>
	<table>
	  <tbody>
	    <xsl:for-each select="releases/row">
	      <tr>
	        <xsl:for-each select="date">
	          <td>
	            <xsl:apply-templates/>
	          </td>
	        </xsl:for-each>
	        <xsl:for-each select="name">
	          <td>
	            <xsl:apply-templates/>
	          </td>
	        </xsl:for-each>
	      </tr>
	    </xsl:for-each>
	  </tbody>
	</table>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>
