Thanks for your suggestions Mike. I am looking at the
solution you had suggested. I am at the moment sticking to
saxon5.5.1 for some reasons. I looked at the documentation
for saxon:preview and the sample play.xsl. I am all set to do
a basic test ..can I give a wildcard * to say preview all
elements? like. <saxon:preview mode = "preview" elements = "*"/>
No, it has to be a list of specific element names, whitespace-separated.
If you gave the name "*", it would match the document element, which
would make the whole exercise rather pointless.
Or do we have to give the specific element's name??
Also will it only work if we have a template of that name.. I
am asking this because i am making use of a for-each and not
a template.?
You don't need to have a template of the form match="element-name", but
you do need to have a template rule that matches the preview element.
The rule is triggered automatically when the XML parser hits the end tag
for a registered preview element, it does not need to be fired using
xsl:apply-templates.
