With each of these three you will want to do something with the "etd:RefElemType" and the "number" attributes (note that "number" is in the document's default namespace). It isn't clear what you ultimately want to do with the value of these attributes. All of your template examples get to a point where they "apply-templates" and we never see what those templates are supposed to output. * Wherever it appears, the xref element is supposed to return <<Equation 3>> as an inline link to the corresponding equation (figure, table, etc.). <<Equation>> is the RefElemType attribute and <<3>> is the number of the equation. If I understand xslt syntax correctly, <<apply-templates>> is the way to output the value of the attribute. The output would read, for example, <<As shown in Equation 3....>>, with a text hyperlink to allow the user to find the reference easily. I think you are also saying that you will want to process these elements twice, once for a "front-matter table" and a second time which you haven't described. Correct, but the "second" time could be multiple times, as often as the writer needs to refer to the item. In order to do this you will have to have two templates for each element you want to process twice. Each template will have a "mode" attribute which is how the processor can distinguish between them. Then when you "apply-templates" you will add a "mode" attribute that will tell the processor which template you want to use for the match. So, for example, you will use an attribute like this "mode='front-matter'": Right; that sounds good. <xsl:template match="etd:xRef" mode="front-matter"> ... </xsl:template> will be processed when you "apply-templates" like this: <xsl:apply-templates select="..." mode="front-matter" /> -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
