Re: [xsl] templates matches ... ?

Thanks,

But I don't know if I made myself clear enough....

Let's say  I have :

<xsl:template match="FREGeneralDocument">
    .... a lot of lines in here ....
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="FREDocument">
    .... exactly the same as above..... a.lot of lines in here ....
</xsl:template>

In the second match all the code is exactly the same as in the first <template match>.... And we're talking about 500+ lines that is exactly the same.... i think there must be a smarter way to do this, then just copy & paste the code ? If there has to be something changed (bugs?) then I have to change the same code in the second <template match> too ....

Thanks in advance,
Fred.
