Hi Matt,
> That is, could I end up with two templates that look something like:
> <xsl:template match="node()|@*" mode="modify | delete">
> <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" mode="**THE VALUE OF
THIS MODE**"/>></xsl:copy>
> </xsl:template>
> <xsl:template match="@Action" mode="modify | delete">
> <xsl:choose>
> <if>mode = modify<xsl:attribute name="Action">M</xsl:attribute></if>
> <else><xsl:attribute name="Action">D</xsl:attribute></else>
> </xsl:choose>
> </xsl:template>
No. If you want to do the same thing in both contexts, but keep track
of what the context is, you're better off using a $mode parameter to
pass the context around:
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:param name="mode" />
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*">
<xsl:with-param name="mode" select="$mode" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@Action">
<xsl:param name="mode" />
<xsl:attribute name="Action">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$mode = 'modify'">M</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>D</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
I hope that helps,
Jeni
