Still thinking how to change <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/> <xsl:template match="some_xpath/text()" > .. Into something where the text is concatenated in the face of PI's or comments. I need (or think I do ) something that is dynamic dispatch. That is, the code that generates <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/> Doesnt (easily) know which rule to invoke so I'm using the template match form. But suppose I could do the same thing with functions or named templates but still let matching work ? Then I could do something like <xsl:call-template name="????"> <xsl:value-of select="string()"/> </xsl:call-template> I think I'm answering my own question I need to generate unique names but maybe there's a way to mix these 2 modes ? Call a fixed constant template that has varients based on a match string ? What I want is some rule that triggers on <xsl:template match="some_xpath/string()" > But that doesnt work, nor does mixing match= & call-template (???) Just shooting in the dark for ideas. My best one so far is to generate unique names for all the xpaths I need to match and do an explicit static-dispatch on the template (or function) name But maybe there's a "trick" to get templates to be dynamically dispatched by name & context node ? like (I know this isnt valid ) <xsl:template name="format_striung" match="some/xpath/expression" > then call it with something like <xsl:call-template name="format_string" select="."> <xsl:value-of select="string()"/> </xsl:call-template> Maybe this is what "mode" or pass-through parameters are for ? Not asking anyone to work on this problem, but if something obvious comes to mind I'd love to hear it ! Thanks. ---------------------------------------- David A.
