Is this strictly true Michael? I've had some success
assigning input to keys for later use.
I assume you're questioning the bit about having to process some input
twice? Well, I did wonder about elaborating that, but I didn't want to
overcomplicate the message. It is true, of course, that if you have to
process the input twice then there are techniques available such as keys and
variables to save repeating all the work each time. But the main point of
the message was: structure the code according to the structure of the
output.

You need to organize your code according to the structure of the
output you want to produce, not according to the structure of the
input (that's why it's called a "template"). In this case,
this means
producing the attributes of a node before its children. In other
cases, it means producing the children in the right order. If this
means you have to process some input twice (perhaps in different
modes), then that's what you have to do.

Dear Michael and all:
Thanks, and when I "commented" out that line, it works.
But, how am supposed to generate something like <p class="(some
attribute"> followed by the text to format the content if I cannot
use <xsl:call-template> here? The template portion is at
the bottom.
Thanks again.
Alice

Quoting Michael Kay <mike(_at_)saxonica(_dot_)com>:
I have commented everything in my document except for these
sections,
That can't be true. At the very least there must be a named
template
called "rend", or it wouldn't run at all. I think Ken is almost
certainly right, that it's your processing of the @topic
attribute that's at fault.
