Re:  Applying templates by selecting it
Sylvain,

Also, that template matching "node" isn't doing anything. Try removing it. You'll get the same result.

This is because you have no element named "node", so this template is never matched.

You might have been trying to match "node()", but as you've discovered, this is unnecessary (and in fact will often interfere with what you want).

Cheers,
Wendell

Ok I found it, it should be
