Hi all,
Just wondering if there are any performance issues and/or preferred methods
of deciding when it is best to use <xsl:call-template name="whatever"> over
<xsl:template match="somenode" mode="withmode">. In this case, I only need
to make 2 passes (so far!), so is there any difference really?
My xsl sheet looks as follows:
---------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml"
version="1.0"
indent="yes"
doctype-system="http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"
doctype-public="-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="employeehierarchy">
<wml>
<card id="employees">
<p>Employees</p>
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</p>
</card>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="makeCards"/>
</wml>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="employee">
<!--Build the wml cards-->
<!--Build the card that lists the employees-->
<a><xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>#</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="emplast"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="emplast"/>
</a>
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="empfirst"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="empmiddle"/>
<br/>
<xsl:for-each select="employees">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<!--Build the cards that list each individual employee-->
<xsl:template match="employee" mode="makeCards">
<xsl:for-each select="//employee">
<card><xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="emplast"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<p><xsl:value-of select="emptitle"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="empfirst"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="emplast"/>
<br/>
</p>
<p>Position:<br/>
<xsl:value-of select="empposition"/>
<br/>
</p>
<p>Job Description:<br/>
<xsl:value-of select="empdescription"/>
<br/>
</p>
<p>Extension:<br/>
<xsl:value-of select="empextension"/>
<br/>
</p>
</card>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
------------------------------------
Would it be better or worse to use:
------------------------------------
...
</card>
<xsl:call-template name="makeCards"/>
</wml>
...
and
...
<!--Build the cards that list each individual employee-->
<xsl:template name="makeCards">
<xsl:for-each select="//employee">
...
-------------------------------------
Kinda long and drawn out for a general question, but I figured it was good
to give everyone exactly what I'm looking at :).
Thanks in advance,
R.Samways
