Subject: RE: [xsl] replacing an output block From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 12:28:32 +0100 |
You're thinking procedurally. There's no "earlier" or "later" in XSLT - order of execution is undefined. Sounds as if you need a two phase stylesheet. Phase 1 computes a result tree and puts this in a variable. Phase 2 considers whether a better result is possible: if so, it applies a transformation to the first result (replacing the relevant subtree with a better version and copying everything else across unchanged); if not, it simply returns the result of the first phase.
