Re: [xsl] Using "match" and "name" in one template.

If the template matches "a|b" won't this be added to the output in a
redundant manner?

I though the template content would be outputted more than once, which
is why I thought I should use call-template.

thanks

Hello,

Is it possible to call a template using

<xsl:call-template name="x"></xsl:call-template>

and then in the actual template have

<xsl:template match="a|b" name="x"></xsl:template>

so the template would only be applied once the template is called and
only if the matching criteria is satisfied.

That's what xsl:apply-templates is for:

<xsl:apply-templates select="a|b"/>

...will cause the appropriate template to be executed once for each of
the nodes selected.  If nothing is selected, nothing will be output.
