Re: [xsl] Can you apply a template match on a copy node?

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hello Mike,

the answer directly to your question is no. You can't access the output.

On the other hand you can do <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> to amtch 
on the same node again, but the @title is not removed of course, because 
it's the input.

Maybe you should tell what you really want to do. Be sure somebody will 
help you on the list. It's no wonder ;-)

Regards,

Joerg
