First, one of the things that was not in your original posting is the
template that your
<xsl:apply-templates select="Title" />
occurs in. So the first question is whether a "Title" element occurs in the
context of that template.
Second, your template implies that there needs to be not just a Title
element in the context, but one with the attribute t_style="title_1". So you
need to see whether that is true.
Third, I have some doubts whether
<xsl:apply-templates select="Title" />
is going to find a match in:
<xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'title_1']">
The fact that I have never seen it done before is not definitive, but it is
worrisome. I would use a different approach, at least to help in debugging
here, if the first two ideas above don't yield results. As I stated in an
earlier posting, if you see evidence that the match isn't occurring (and you
have), then have your template match any <Title> element, and put
conditional logic inside the template to handle the differences between
attributes.
Fourth, even if any of this works, your <xsl:value-of select="Title"> will
probably not give you any results, because there is probably not going to be
an XPath expression that will match "Title" inside of your template for the
<Title> element. You probably want instead: <xsl:value-of select="."> If
your FO file has both <elements> in it (the one you wrapped around the
apply-templates, plus the one inside the Title template), then this is
probably all you need to fix. Otherwise, I think you have two problems.
Again, this is not the right forum to debug XSLT, nor to tutor in it. I hope
the resources posted earlier & the above ideas give you enough to chew on to
get going again.
