Ah, just one mode string. Ever used this approach? With the
evaluate in it I mean?
And the above example would match the xpath expression contained in
$xpath doesn't it? (That was the Goal i thought.)
Though I'm not the problem owner (so don't ask me about the
goal ;), i think this approach with apply-templates is useful in
only limited situations. The original posted tried to test for
certain xpaths. That can be done with the apply-templates, somehow,
I guess. But the one that suggested to generate an XSL had a
different use case, in which most is copied and the xpath matching
elements were only marked. In that case apply-templates is not that
useful...
Exactly! Spot-on, said the original problem owner
still struggling to get things working as intended.
Damned, and I left this issue casually lying around
to be resolved later. If only I'd known... :(
