I pretty sure this is in fact a FAQ, but I'm in a good mood :-)
Try this:
XML:
<document>
<title>title</title>
<drawing output="filename.jpg"/>
<p>paragraph</p>
</document>
XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<!-- default behaviour:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
and with templates al you do is change that def. behaviour,
so when you only specify a template for that certain element, all
other will be processed according to the above template..
more or less anyway...
:-)
-->
<xsl:template match="*">
<!-- try and copy your elements into your output: changing the
behaviour for all elements-->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="drawing">
<!-- this element should have specific care,
because this template is more specifiec than the above one, this one
gets precedence, and therefore you can change the behaviour for this
specific element-->
<img src="{@output}"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

hey all -
i'm new to the list and XSL so this might seem like a silly question
(and maybe one that's already been asked a dozen times)...
i need to apply a stylesheet that goes in and changes only one tag in
my document. specifically
<drawing output="filename.jpg">
needs to become
<img src="filename.jpg">
like in html. my stylesheet has one single template that does this,
but when i apply it, ALL of the other tags in the document disappear.
i assume that without a template for a specific tag, my transformer is
mapping the other tags to nothing at all. is there a simple way
around this? or do i need to make templates for each and every tag
that transforms them into the result document as what they were in the
source?
thanks in advance for all your help. and apologies if i'm wasting
everyone's time.
