Re: defining nodes to apply template to

2005-08-10 03:25:15
i want to combine the following...

<xsl:apply-templates
select="(data[contains(.'STOP')]/preceding-sibling::)"/>

<xsl:apply-templates
select="(data[contains(.'START')]/following-sibling::)"/>

So limiting the data to just the data inbetween
these... i noticed intersect (which looked very
useful) in XPath 2.0 but unfortunately I can only use
XPath 1.0

in addition i also wish to normalize-space within the
document before applying the templates... I can see
two ways ...running a separate xslt script first or
altering the incomming xml data before the processing
with the xslt script but was wondering if there is a
way to do it all in the same xslt script?

thanks for you help...

You are applying templates to all nodes, so you need
a template 
<xsl:template match="blah"/>
that says to do nothing with blah elements that
don't match your other
template.

Or simpler in this case just have a template
matching blah that does teh
trannsformation you require, and only apply
templates to the blah nodes
before stop, as I suggested earlier:
