Hi, sorry if the answer to this is in the archives/faq but it's hard to
think what the search terms should be for this problem.
Basically, I want a way to pull out a particular sub-element or
-elements for special styling, then do the equivalent of apply-templates
on all the *other* sub-elements that haven't been "special-cased".
eg:
I have an element with various optional and unordered sub-elements, ie:
<steps>
<title>Open a file</title>
<step>Choose File > Open</step>
<para>Comment on the last step</para>
<step>Click the name of a file</step>
</steps>
In this particular case I want the output to have the <title> output
above the output of <steps> and its other children. Basically, I want a
way to get the equivalent in the <steps> template of apply-templates for
everything except <title> elements, eg:
<xsl:template match="steps">
<xsl:apply-templates select="title" />
<ol class="steps">
<xsl:apply-templates /> //(... to everything except "title")
</ol>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="steps/title">
<p><b><xsl:apply-templates /></b></p>
</xsl:template>
Is there a way to accomplish this cleanly? I reckon there must be, but I
can't think of it...
Thanks!
Matt
