RE: xslt spec - or condition


The template:

<xsl:template select="chapter|appendix">
</xsl:template>

Will match both chapter and appendix elements, so you're correct when
you read the select statement as "chapter or appendix".

This means that a call to <xsl:apply-templates /> will match *both*
chapter and appendix elements to the above template (that's what they
mean by "and").

Subject: [xsl] xslt spec - or condition



hi 
I was going through the XSLT Spec and found the following line there

"chapter|appendix matches any chapter element and any appendix element"


what catches me is that the above line reads chapter and appendix

when i would have thot that '|' would be more close to 'or' than 'and'.
i thot it shud read chapter or appendix.

can somebody explain me what i am missing?
 thanks
