RE: In-order traversal of XHTML of text() and <foo> nodes?

In your specific example, you can just use <xsl:apply-templates /> (with no 
attributes) to
instruct the processor to apply the default templates for each node type, 
then just override the ones you want..


<xsl:template match="foobar">
  <p>
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <b><xsl:apply-templates /></b>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bar">
  <i><xsl:apply-templates /></i>
</xsl:template>

and so on.

Subject: [xsl] In-order traversal of XHTML of text() and <foo> nodes?


Say I have XML like this...

<foobar>
   Once <foo>upon</foo> a midnight <bar>dreary</bar> while I...
</foobar>

How do I make a traversal of that <foobar> node, picking
up text(), <foo> and <bar> in document order, so as to pass
through the text() but apply separate templates to <foo>
and <bar>?

Really silly, but identical in concept, would be to output
XHTML like below...

<p>
   Once <b>upon</b> a midnight <i>dreary</i> while I...
</p>

I'm not really doing something that silly. But the example
illustrates my traversal confusion in the simplest possible
terms.

I can't just grab the whole <foobar> node. I need to traverse
it...with text() mixed in and between those <foo> and <bar>
nodes. Sentence structure must not be destoyed. It would be,
I think, like traversing an XHTML <p> node. XSL can do that,
yes?

Thanks,

Gan
