Hello,
I'm trying to grok the xstl processing model. Could someone help me out a bit? Using the document example in section D.1 of the XSLT
1.0 spec:
In this template, I'd thought that the source tree context node to be processed would be the root (/doc[1]), but then the match
expression wouldn't match it, because using /doc[1] as context means this match expression is looking at the immediate children of
the context node, right?
<xsl:template match="doc">
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
Now, in this template, the source tree context node is still the root (/doc[1]), right? So how does this match anything, as the
match expression seems like it would match any "doc" children of the context node?
<xsl:template match="doc/title">
<h1>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</h1>
</xsl:template>
I think I'll stop there. Because if my understanding of how the initial context node and source-tree-nodes-to-be-processed are
flawed, then it only goes downhill from here :)
Thanks,
Dietrich
