RE: Complete newbie stupid question

Hey Sandy,

Your very close, just move the <xsl:apply-templates /> element definition
from your "Head1" template to within the "root" match template.

Like this:
   <xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates />
   </xsl:template>

This guy will be guaranteed to be the first match, but then it stops there.
Once the xslt iterator is inside that element there's nothing inside it
instructing it on what to to-do/look for next.

Try this:
      ...
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates />
	</xsl:template>       
	<xsl:template match="Head1">
		<html>
			<font face="Arial" 
					color="black" 
					size="24" 
					style="bold"/>
			<br/>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
      ...


I suspect that you still want to process other templates by pattern
matching, but don't have them listed in your snippet.

If that's the case then you may want something like this:
      ...
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates />
	</xsl:template>       
	<xsl:template match="Head1">
		<html>
			<font face="Arial" 
					color="black" 
					size="24" 
					style="bold"/>
			<br/>
			<xsl:apply-templates />
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
      ...

But, then since your generating html you may to do consider something like
this:
      ...
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<xsl:apply-templates />
		</html>
	</xsl:template>      
	<xsl:template match="Head1">
		<!-- other stuff here? -->
		<font face="Arial" 
				color="black" 
				size="24" 
				style="bold"/>
		<br/>
		<xsl:apply-templates />
		<!-- other stuff here? -->
	</xsl:template>
      ...

anyway, hope this helps...
Jeff

Subject: [xsl] Complete newbie stupid question


Hi, I'm new to the list, to XML, to XSL, XSLT and pretty much everything 
related.

I am trying to do what seems like a simple operation. I just want a 
stylesheet that calls a template in which nested templates specify 
formatting for specific nodes. Seems simple. Seemed simple for the first 
3 days I tried to make it work. I am now a blithering idiot who can 
hardly spell XML. Can someone please refer me to a good source that can 
help me sort this out? Or better yet, show me an example?

I have been attempting the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
    <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
    <xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
   
    <xsl:template match= "/">
    </xsl:template>       
        <xsl:template match="Head1">
                <html>
                    <font face="Arial" color="black" size="24" 
style="bold"/>
                    <br/>
                </html>
        </xsl:template>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have tried every variation of this known to man.

Sorry to waste your time and expertise, but I am getting nowhere.

I appreciate your pearls of wisdom.

Sandy
