Re: numbering - counting - grouping

[Frédéric SCHWEBEL <schwebel at rfv dot insa-lyon dot fr>]

Hi,

There's a difference between child elements and attributes. You have two
solutions :

Either you change your XML file with :
<contributor type="AU"> instead of <contributor><type>AU</type>
then type is an attribute of constructor and you can write
<xsl:apply-templates select="contributor [@type='AU']"> in your xsl sheet.

or if you want to keep your original xml file then write
<xsl:apply-templates select="contributor/type[.='AU']"> (but i'm not really
sur about the syntax here)

Does it help ?
