RE: [xsl] A non self closed xsl:apply-templates element to create a text node for matching ...

It's not legal to have an xsl:value-of element as a child of 
xsl:apply-templates, and I'm really not sure what you would 
expect it 
to mean.

I didn't think so.  Just an "accident" that it worked.

It's a bug in the XSLT processor you were using. You might call that an
accident, I don't.

I can't see the difficulty in having a single template rule that 
matches both text nodes and attribute nodes, for example

How can I combine these 2 templates (image the starts-with 
being long and error prone) so that I can state the matching 
rules only once:

<xsl:template match="text()[ starts-with( ., '../Russia2006/' ) ]">
    <xsl:text>http://site.com/gallery/Russia/2006/</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="substring-after( ., 
'../Russia2006/' )" /> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@href[ starts-with( ., '../Russia2006/' ) ]">
    <xsl:text>http://site.com/gallery/Russia/2006/</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="substring-after( ., 
'../Russia2006/' )" /> </xsl:template>

Something like a union would be nice : (text() | @href)[ ... 
] I am just trying to simplify a big stylesheet.  Any ideas?


You can write a union, but unfortunately you have to repeat the predicate:

<xsl:template match="text()[ starts-with( ., '../Russia2006/' ) ] | @href[
starts-with( ., '../Russia2006/' ) ]">
