Right away I see you have two template rules for "/" ... your processor is
probably not reporting this and using the acceptable (though not always to
me) behaviour of using the last in document order of your stylesheet.
As a result, your first template rule for "/" is *not* being fired. Change
the second to match the response element and see what happens.
So far I've been working so far through online tutorials, but I think some
dead trees would do me good. Should I wait for new editions of the books
listed in the FAQ (haven't seen anything in the FAQ or the archives about
updates) or head over to the bookstore and buy what's on the shelves?
We have on our web site freely-downloadable previews of two XSL titles
available as PDF files (perhaps an acceptable alternative to dead trees?):
Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath
(XSL Transformations and the XML Path Language)
Tenth Edition - 2001-12-06 - ISBN 1-894049-08-X
Copyright (c) 2001 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
/ 394 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates, /
/ / soft-copy of included examples, and an /
/ / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions. /
/ / Free 140-page download preview excerpt. /
/ Free prepaid copy for every U.S. Government employee. /
Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO
(Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects)
Fourth Edition - 2003-04-11 - ISBN 1-894049-11-X
Copyright (c) 2003 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
/ 466 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates, /
/ / soft-copy of included examples, and an /
/ / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions. /
/ / Free 242-page download preview excerpt. /
/ Free prepaid copy for every U.S. Government employee. /
I'm hoping to soon announce (after months of delays) the next edition of
both books that will be free to all previous customers of the same title
(we have a perpetual free update policy). The XSLT revision will be the
last XSLT 1.0 revision, future free revisions will be on XSLT 2.0 (another
benefit of not using dead trees).
I hope this helps.
