Subject: Re: mixed implicit and explicit stylesheet - possible ? From: Jeni Tennison <jeni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2000 22:04:51 +0100 |
Simon, >is it possible to mix implicit and explicit stylesheets ? I'm not sure which you're counting as implicit and which as explicit, but the answer is 'sort of'. When you have a literal result element as the stylesheet (so the stylesheet looks like an HTML document with some xsl elements in it to indicate where information should be slotted in), it's equivalent to declaring a stylesheet with a template that matches on the root node, with the same content. For example: <html xmlns:xsl="..."> ... <td><xsl:value-of select="Section/@Name"/></td> <td><xsl:apply-template select="Option"></td> </html> is equivalent to: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="..."> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> ... <td><xsl:value-of select="Section/@Name"/></td> <td><xsl:apply-template select="Option"></td> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> If you transform a stylesheet into the second form, then you can add any other templates you want into it. For example: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="..."> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> ... <td><xsl:value-of select="Section/@Name"/></td> <td><xsl:apply-template select="Option"></td> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='Option[@Type="List"]'> <select>...</select> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> You can also put any top-level elements like xsl:import or xsl:output or xsl:key into it. Unsurprisingly, 'proper' stylesheets like these are a lot more powerful than 'basic' stylesheets, but they are also a lot more complex.
