Re: [xsl] xsl: using attribute value in apply-templates select

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hello Alex,

I don't understand exactly what you want, but I assume the "mode" can 
help you. So you can have a template

<xsl:template match="node" mode="foo"/>

and a template

<xsl:template match="node" mode="bar"/>

So if you do an <xsl:apply-templates/> you can add a mode too:

<xsl:apply-templates select="node" mode="foo"/>

and on another place

<xsl:apply-templates select="node" mode="bar"/>

Does this solve your problem?
