Re: Use of xsl:apply-templates exception with an eleme

What should be done if the element name is in an attribute or variable, as
<variable name="name" select=" 'attribution' "/>

Thanks,

How about this?

<xsl:template match="blockquote">
<blockquote>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[name()!='attribution']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="attribution"/>
</blockquote>
</xsl:template>

For the maillist record, the above approach is not namespace-safe and so is not a general solution for XSLT 1.0. Rather, the following would be a more appropriate approach:

<xsl:template match="blockquote">
 <blockquote>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::attribution)]"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="attribution"/>
 </blockquote>
</xsl:template>

The name() function is for exposition, not for testing.

I hope this helps.
