You may not be specifying the correct context node in which your templates
will match other nodes to process.

In your example above, you use xsl:apply-templates without supplying a
context node, so the XSLT processor will select templates that match child
nodes of SubSection.

But in your original message you wrote <xsl:apply-templates
select="ssHdr"/>, so only templates which match ssHdr (plus any children you
specify) will be selected.  So if ChapHdg is a child of ssHdr, you would
change your matching template to:

<xsl:template match="ssHdr/ChapHdg">
  <!-- do stuff -->
</xsl:template>

This is pretty basic XSLT/XPath--I recommend checking out the FAQ
(http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/applytemplates.html and
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7654.html).

Not an XSLT question, but its placement appears OK.  Be mindful that you're
directly trying to reference a document on your filesystem--which may not
work when viewed in a browser.
