Re: [xsl] Multiple tranformations of a given element using XSL

Hi Mike,

I might not have described the problem in the proper
way and I do not have an example handy.

But in short, I have around 50 elements that need to
be renamed and then I have a few nodes whose child
elements need to be renamed but only by adding a
definite prefix. A third requirement asks for string
manipulation of the content of few other elements.

The three sets of elements overlap with each other.
The second requirement can be done with just one
template using XPATH (I hope). And the first and third
requirements might need a template for a specific
element. If the work needs to be assigned to different
resources for integration towards the end, depending
on which template runs last, the other two effects are
nullified in the output tree.

Basically I guess I am taking an object oriented
approach rather than a procedural approach. Is that a
right way to go with XSLs is what I wonder.

Thanks for the response.
