RE: xsl:template having both name and match

2005-03-03 05:46:37
Hi,

Hello,
  I have a question about xsl:template ..

It is said in XSLT 2.0 spec that..
"If an xsl:template element has a name attribute, it
may, but need not, also have a match attribute.

The match, mode and priority attributes on an
xsl:template element have no effect when the template
is invoked by an xsl:call-template instruction.
Similarly, the name attribute on an xsl:template
element has no effect when the template is invoked by
an xsl:apply-templates instruction."

I think this is also true in case of XSLT 1.0 ..

This means that we can write a xsl:template having
*both* name and match attributes..

I want to know in which circumstances such a template
definition is useful.. Can somebody please provide an
example where this has real practical use..?

<xsl:template name="block/title" name="section.heading">
  <xsl:param name="content">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:param>
  <h2>
    <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/>
  </h2>
</xsl:template>
 
When you want to use the same template to generate headings for both matched 
title elements and autogenerated content.
