RE: [xsl] Templates for different kinds of tags?

You don't need (and probably shouldn't use) <xsl:choose> for this purpose. Let 
the processor do the work, not the programmer.

For different table types:

<table style="simple">
<table style="xyz">


Write templates that match the specific table types:

<xsl:template match="table[(_at_)style='simple']">
  <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="table[(_at_)style='xyz']">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="tr[parent::table[(_at_)style='simple']]">
  <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="td[parent::tr[parent::table[(_at_)style='simple']]]">
  <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="td[parent::tr[parent::table[(_at_)style='xyz']]]">
  <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

Subject:  [xsl] Templates for different kinds of tags?

Hi there,

I'm not so familiar with XSL, please be patient ;-)

I have a XML-document (not HTML) with tables like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>

So, I have three templates for them:

<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:template match="tr">
<xsl:template match="td">

Now, I want to use different kinds of tables in my XML-doc like

<table style="simple">
<table style="xyz">

Depending on the style-attribut, I can change the template-code for 
<table> with  xsl:choose. But, the <tr>- and <td>-tags are still the 
same code, so, they will always use the same templates. But I also want 
to change the code for tr and td, depending on the style of the complete 
table.

Is this possible or have I to write the xsl:choose - statement again in 
the tr- and in the td-templates?

Thank you!

Best,

Tom
