Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] overriding a template used in a 'mode'
Hi Tim, While attribute-sets merge in XSL, templates do not. If you replace that template with a cut-down version, it will be applied in all cases because of match="*", and the original template will never be used because yours has a higher priority. Since the template is written using a mode, you could write a new template that matches on d:chapter in that mode, and one for d:section too. Then the new template will apply on the to the elements they match, and the original match="*" template will apply only to any other elements. Your templates will need to accept the same template parameters and return a similar value. Generally using a mode is most useful when you have more than one template and they match on different elements. This is not a good use of a mode, because there is only one template that matches on all elements, and then the xsl:choose part handles the different elements. The template could have been written as a named template. But it is good that it wasn't because with a mode you have the opportunity to customize per element by adding templates with more specific matches, without having to change the original.
