Dear Sylvain,
At 11:16 AM 7/20/2005, you wrote: Yeah cheers. In fact in my first sample version, I was using 'node' instead of 'a' for naming my template. But then I did realise that it would be more confusing due to the very function you mentioned (node()). Ah, okay. (FWIW: node() is not a function, it's a node test. :-) So in my email I changed the XML document from 'node' to 'a' but forgot to change the template as well. Yet since the default builtin template for elements is <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> and that for text nodes is (notice that *node test* in the pattern, "text()"): <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> it turns out that, at least in your toy example, no extra template is needed for that "a" element (since it will descend to its text node child by default, which by default gets written out). Anyway, lots of bandwith usage for nothing... my fault :) Oh I don't know -- sometimes these little conversations are useful, and you never know to whom. There are plenty of people lurking on the list especially in order to scoop up nuggets of insight found in such discussions.
