   Hi,
]         You may try the other gentleman's suggestion or remove the
xsl:apply-templates from
          inside the template for element if you know it only has text
content.

Subject: [xsl] Newbie issue with apply-templates and output


Hi,

I'm quite new to all this XSL stuff and have now got very confused with
what's happening with the output using my XSL - it's dumping out the
text from nodes even tough I've not specified in the XSL to do this. The
code (xml & xsl) is given below with the output - and I'm confused why
it's output 'heading 1' etc twice, and why 'I'm here' is being output at
all. How can I change my xsl so it only outputs the headings once, and
the extra text isn't displayed at all?

It's probably obvious to everyone else - but not to me! :-(

Any help/explanation much appreciated,
Alex
 --------------------
Here's the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>

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

<xsl:template match="element">
  <temp><xsl:value-of select="."/></temp>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

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

</xsl:stylesheet>

And here is the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
        <element>heading 1</element>
        <element>heading 2</element>
        <body>
                <element>heading 3</element>
                <element>heading 4</element>
                I'm here
        </body>
</html>

But the output I'm getting is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<report>
        <temp>heading 1</temp>
        heading 1
        <temp>heading 2</temp>
        heading 2
        <temp>heading 3</temp>
        heading 3
        <temp>heading 4</temp>
        heading 4
        I'm here
</report>
