Whether in one template or in 2 different ones, the chance of error is greater than having the rules in one place. How can I combine these 2 templates (image the starts-with being long and error prone) so that I can state the matching rules only once: <xsl:template match="text()[ starts-with( ., '../Russia2006/' ) ]"> <xsl:text>http://site.com/gallery/Russia/2006/</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after( ., '../Russia2006/' )" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@href[ starts-with( ., '../Russia2006/' ) ]"> <xsl:text>http://site.com/gallery/Russia/2006/</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after( ., '../Russia2006/' )" /> </xsl:template> Something like a union would be nice : (text() | @href)[ ... ] I am just trying to simplify a big stylesheet.
