xml-dev - Re: Style Rules for Mixed Elements

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@mulberrytech.com>]

Charles,

You can do what you want by declaring a template for element children of Para.

So...

<xsl:template match="Para/*">
   ... make your text green here ...
</xsl:template>

Now if each child has to have to have its own, distinctive formatting based
on element type, things get more complicated. (I'm assuming that's not the
case.)

The best place to post XSL questions is the XSL-List at
