Forgive me I just learned the XSL, And I have trouble to understand the apply-templates well. In my understanding. apply-templates will find the nodes match the select. and search in the current xsl document if there is a template defined for specified select nodes. then apply the style to these nodes.
For Example:
<catalog>
<cd>
<title>Empire Burlesque</title>
<artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
<country>USA</country>
<company>Columbia</company>
<price>10.90</price>
<year>1985</year>
</cd>
<cd>
<title>Hide your heart</title>
<artist>Bonnie Tyler</artist>
<country>UK</country>
<company>CBS Records</company>
<price>9.90</price>
<year>1988</year>
</cd>
<cd>
<title>Greatest Hits</title>
<artist>Dolly Parton</artist>
<country>USA</country>
<company>RCA</company>
<price>9.90</price>
<year>1982</year>
</cd>
</catalog>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>My CD Collection</h2>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="cd">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="artist"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
Title: <span style="color:#ff0000">
<xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
<br />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="artist">
Artist: <span style="color:#00ff00">
<xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
<br />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
- The first apply-templates in the
<xsl:template match="/">, It means all the nodes under the rootcatalogwill apply the specified template. since there is a template already defined for these nodes. so it will apply the template to these nodescd. And So does the other apply-templates. They works with the same rule.
But when I see the xsl like below. actually there are from cruisecontrol.net MsTestReport2010.xsl
<xsl:variable name="runinfos"
select="*[local-name()='ResultSummary']/*[local-name()='RunInfos']/*[local-name()='RunInfo']" />
<xsl:if test="count($runinfos) > 0">
<h3>Errors and Warnings</h3>
<table width="100%"
border="1"
cellSpacing="0"
style="font-size:small;">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$runinfos" />
</table>
</xsl:if>
in my understanding the xsl:apply-templates select="$runinfos" will search the xsl document find the template defined for it. which is the below.
<xsl:template match="*[local-name()='RunInfo']">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
But What make me confused is what does it mean select="*". Because I seach in the xsl document .found there is not such * template defined for it ..
And I also wonder a question : What if there is no template match the selected nodes in the xsl:apply-templates ?
And How I can test and debug a xsl in some tools . Please share it with me if you have some good ones.Thanks.
