RE: [xsl] How do you apply templates ONLY to the direct children of an element/node?
Subject: RE: [xsl] How do you apply templates ONLY to the direct children of an element/node? From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 15:09:01 +0100 |
XSLT supplies a built-in template rule that's invoked when no explicit template rule matches a node during apply-templates. The built-in rule does as you've discovered: it processes the grandchildren. This is often useful, but if you don't want this behavior, just change it: <xsl:template match="*"/> creates a fallback template rule that does nothing.
