Hi all,
I'm using ParseWorkflow.java to trace how Xalan transforms a xml doc.
I'm a little confused because the order of creating output elements and
calling templates is not so obvious. For instance, 2&3, 4&5 in the
output are not in the same order shown in the xsl file. I guess the
below order will be more understandable.
startElement "self"
start of template line="12"
startElement "child"
..................
endElement "child"
end of template line="12"
endElement "self"
This is not critical to my work. However it'll help if I can get the
idea behind this. Please cast some light on it. Thanks.
