Re: [xsl] Simple template matching problem

You're absolutely right. It seems that my processing scripts are, in
some cases, transforming XSL with no XML. Thanks for the reply.

I suppose you are missing something like:

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('record.xml')/*" />

the match itself in your code is correct for either. Can you send
something more of your code? In addition, look through your stylesheet
for something like match="/Records" or something like
match="Records[(_at_)id]" which both may have a higher precedence which can
be a reason for not matching 'Records' in the first place.

Another way to try your code is (carefully) replacing your
apply-templates with copy-of to see if you really select something in
apply-templates, or that you have some error in the namespace prefix,
the absence of one, or anything else that can be a cause of
non-selection (missing CamelCase?).
