RE: [xsl] Selecting a group of elements with different names

2007-02-21 06:51:37
Am I right in saying the first option requires me to purchase a schema aware XSLT processor?

The second option looks similar to the one I suggested, its not really extensible when I need to make the check for list | box | group at numerous places in the stylesheet. I would like to define these object names in one place and then reference them from numerous XPaths.

Define the elements as members of a substitution-group S in the schema, then
you can do

select="/objects/object/schema-element(S)"

Or do

select="/objects/object//(list|box|group)"
