XSLT question related to <xsl:template> and <xsl:apply-templates>

[Vijay singh]

Hi

wonder if anybody can clear by doubt


XML file :

<score id="1">
<film>A Little Princess</film>
<composer>Patri ck Doyle</composer>
<year>1995</year>
<grade>
<mygrade>100</mygrade>
<vijay>50</vijay>
</grade>
</score>


XSL file 1 :

<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="score">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output 1 :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
A Little Princess
Patrick Doyle
1995

100
50

XSL file 2 :

<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="grade">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output 2:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
A Little Princess
Patrick Doyle
1995

100
50


Question is why does the ouptput 2 showed top three lines, when I only
matched "grade".

Regards
Vijay

There are built-in templates to recursively process the document and to
output text nodes, see
