XSLT is about recursion. You have to apply templates within templates. By adding <xsl:apply-templates/> to your first fragment starts processing its <section> childs. So the first template becomes: <!-- Template T1: transform <toc> to <section> --> <xsl:template match="toc"> <section numbered="false" title="Contents"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> ... </xsl:template> Note: <section> is not a valid HTML element. I guess you more looking for something like the following: <!-- Template T1: transform <toc> to <section> --> <xsl:template match="toc"> <div numbered="false" title="Contents"> <xsl:apply-templates/> ... </div> </xsl:template> Regards, Ronald -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Philip Koester Sent: maandag 19 juni 2000 0:15 To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Recursive Template Application Hello, my Name is Philip Koester and I am new to this list (and to XSL). To dive into the matter, I am trying to transform a structured document into HTML. I ran into troubles with templates that I want to be applied recursively. Some snippets: <!-- Template T1: transform <toc> to <section> --> <xsl:template match="toc"> <section numbered="false" title="Contents"/> ... </xsl:template> <!-- Template T2: transform <section> to <h2> --> <xsl:template match="section"> <h2><xsl:value-of select="@title"/></h2> </xsl:template> This stylesheet works only half-way in that it correctly transforms "<toc/>" to "<section .../>" but leaves it at that. The output of T1 is not matched by T2. But how can I enforce this, so that "<toc/>" is finally transformed to "<h2>..."? Should I run the XSL processor twice? Or is there a more efficient way to accomplish this?
