Hi everybody!
XSLT is quite new to me so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
I have the following XSLT stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="doc">
<doc>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</doc>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="a">
<x title="{/doc/@title}"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="b">
<xsl:param name="content">
<a/>
</xsl:param>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$content"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then I feed it the following xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<doc title="abc">
<a/>
<b/>
</doc>
This results in the following output xml:
<doc>
<x title="abc"></x>
<x title=""></x>
</doc>
My question:
Why does the second "abc" get eaten up?
Why doesn't it result in this?
<doc>
<x title="abc"></x>
<x title="abc"></x>
</doc>
I tried this with xalan-c as well as saxon.
