OK, but there are many more elements outside the <fields> hierarchy, as you
can note in the posted xml example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<documents xmlns="http://www.aaa.it/consulta/xdmModel";>
<document id="2003722011924">
<header>
<caption>Fattura 1924/2003 di AAAAAA SpA</caption>
</header>
<body format="pdf" base="fatture/">
<pages>
<page template="FTNORM.pdf">
<fields>
<field name="CSBFT242">FATTURA DI VENDITA</field>
<field name="CSBFT009">1</field>
<field name="CSBFT010">2003-12-18</field>
</fields>
</page>
</pages>
</body>
</document>
</documents>
I would like to avoid explicit template declarations for EACH unwanted
element (<documents>, <document>, <header>, <body>, <pages> and so on),
thinking about more complex scenarios.
If I applied the posted xsl transformation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0" xmlns:xdm="http://www.aaa.it/consulta/xdmModel";>
<xsl:template match="xdm:fields">
<map font-family="Courier" font-size="10pt" height="1" x-unit="in/10"
y-unit="in/6">
<xsl:apply-templates select="xdm:field[(_at_)name='CSBFT242']"/>
</map>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xdm:field[(_at_)name='CSBFT242']">
<label x="20" y="56" width="12">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</label>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
to the above posted xml, it would result in an odd xml containing the
unwanted "Fattura 1924/2003 di AAAAAA SpA" value of the
/document/header/caption text node, due to the famous default template
(argggh! wouldn't it be better if the W3C XSLT workgroup had defined an
empty default template instead of the text-spitting one we have to deal
with?). I'm just looking for an ultimate solution that doesn't let me worry
about the "text-spitting" issue!
Furthermore: do you know why the matching xpath expression "node()" excludes
neatly all the other matching templates?
Thanks
Stefano

Oggetto: Re: [xsl] R: [xsl] [text nodes] Unmatching text nodes
wrongly inserted
<xsl:template match="xdm:field"/> <!-- this is the empty template -->
But how can I extend this concept to exclude not just the unwanted
<field>
elements, but ANY element OTHER THAN those I need to render?
<xsl:apply-templates/> selects all the children. If you only need
one particular element, it's easier to select it in apply-templates:
<xsl:apply-templates select="xdm:field[(_at_)name='CSBFT242']"/>
and then the matching template will only be called for that element.
<xsl:template match="xdm:fields">
<xsl:apply-templates select="xdm:field[(_at_)name='CSBFT242']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xdm:field">
... process that one field ...
</xsl:template>
HTH,
Anton
