xsl:apply-templates to all but... I was curious about opinions on a processing trick I've been doing lately. The issue: if element w has content model (x,y,z) and I want to output its contents in (y,z,x) order, I could do this: <xsl:template match="w"> <xsl:apply-templates select"y"/> <xsl:apply-templates select"z"/> <xsl:apply-templates select"x"/> </xsl:template> But if something later gets added to that content model, this template rule will ignore it. If @select could take a regular expression more complex than * or ns:*, that would be cool, but that's not an option. So here's what I've done: <xsl:template match="w"> <xsl:apply-templates select"y" mode="output"/> <xsl:apply-templates select"*"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="y" mode="output"> <!-- process normally --> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="y"/> x and z get processed normally. (In real life, this was with larger, more complex content models and template rules.) Has anyone else done this? Or something similar, and if different, how so? thanks, Bob DuCharme
