I have another odd xslt question: What's the difference between 'select=". | one"' and 'select="(.) | one"'? The latter does what I thought the former should have done.
Here's is a script that does three selects and calls a template that for-each'es thru the selected nodes and prints their name(): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="top"> <out> <test1> <xsl:variable name="test1" select=". | one"/> <xsl:call-template name="out"> <xsl:with-param name="test" select="$test1"/> </xsl:call-template> </test1> <test2> <xsl:variable name="test2" select="(.) | one"/> <xsl:call-template name="out"> <xsl:with-param name="test" select="$test2"/> </xsl:call-template> </test2> <test3> <xsl:variable name="top" select="."/> <xsl:variable name="test2" select="$top | one"/> <xsl:call-template name="out"> <xsl:with-param name="test" select="$test2"/> </xsl:call-template> </test3> </out> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="out"> <xsl:param name="test"/> <xsl:for-each select="$test"> <found> <name><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/></name> </found> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Here is my test input: <top> <one/> <two/> <three/> </top> The output of xsltproc (formatted) is: <?xml version="1.0"?> <out> <test1> <found> <name>top</name> </found> </test1> <test2> <found> <name>top</name> </found> <found> <name>one</name> </found> </test2> <test3> <found> <name>top</name> </found> <found> <name>one</name> </found> </test3> </out> The problem is that ". | one" selects only <top>, not <one>. But if I wrap it in parens (test2) or use a variable (test3), it works correctly. Any insight appreciated.
