[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: fallback to a default template in xsl processing
 Hi,
maybe my practice of always matching the root influences the double
matching(?). The stylesheet below has been reduced to the main '/' match and
then just the 'headers to the templates that process the different matched
nodes
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="name(LIMS)"/>
</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="name(LIMS/*)='SUBOUTINE' or name(LIMS/*)='LIST' ">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="LIMS/*[1]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates
mode="default" select="LIMS/*"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="SUBROUTINE">
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="LIST">
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
</xsl:template>
<xsl:stylesheet>
The input xml document takes the general form of a flat table like structure
(these are exported xml objects from a data system where the first node is the
parent table, the other nodes are child tables in the data system).
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<LIMS>
<LIST/>
<LIST_ENTRY/>
<LIST_ENTRY/>
<LIST_ENTRY/>
</LIMS>
Ultimately I would like to 'call' a named template for specific matched node,
otherwise 'call' the default template. The purpose of the xsl stylesheet is to
provide a report that allows users to view the exported xml objects as
formatted html.
Thanks (to everyone) for your help! (This is such a great list!)
Kind Regards, April

We would need to see your attempt and the source file to know what you are
doing wrong. The usual problem with default templates is that you pick up
more than you wanted. This can often be avoided by providing a partial path.
