Thanks Michael for the detailed explanation. Never used "mode" attribute but
seems to perfect in my case.
One more question, don't you think that <xsl:import> or <xsl:include>
(although I still do not know much about these two elements) will be more
helpful in this case to avoid the long and complex stylesheet. I would
prefer to modularize this rather having a single stylesheet, which later
will be painful, if debugging is required.
Just wanted to take the opinions before I jump into it and start defining my
style sheet.
Thanks anyway.

Hi all,
I am writing a stylesheets for different journal (basically for
print), wherein the order of authors, titles etc varies (<ref-book>
here)depending upon the <journalcode>.

Manipulating data, adding issue is not seems to be problem to me and I
can very much do that, while checking the <journalcode> string with
the use of XSLT, but I am little bit stuck with Idea how to do it in
best way.
I have hundreds of journals for which I am developing stylesheet and
they are very much same till the reference part and the only which
differentiate them is reference style (which are 4 or 5 in count).
Somebody, from publishing industry will definitely understand this
:-).
Anyways, Is there any way I can do it with in same style sheet with
conditionally checking the <journalcode>, instead of defining the . I
am new in XSLT but I am OK with XPath, so I believe I can do this.
You may detect the different journal codes using simple tests and then
branch into different modes to process accordingly.
I don't know if this is the best approach. Its viability may depend
on how much reshaping is required for your different journal codes.
