Well folks, I think I solved this myself. Maybe if I would have spent less time formulating an = example and more time towards solving the problem I would have been better = off. The sample stylessheet that gives me the desired result follows. I realized = that I should always just match form and then check for the attribute within = the template.

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet

xmlns:xsl=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

version=3D"1.0">

<xsl:output encoding=3D"UTF-8" = method=3D"html"/>

<xsl:template match=3D"node()|@*">

= ; <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"node()|@*" = />

= </xsl:copy>

= </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match=3D"form">

Subject: [xslt] template match=3D"form"

So, I am in a bind and need to figure out how I can = match a form item in xsl that contains a certain attribute – and output my = own formatted tag without duplicating the form tag. I need to = recognize our special forms and have a huge template to match depending on if there is = a certain attribute (rn:webform). If it is a normal form I want it = to match the catchall template <xsl:template match=3D"node()|@*"> and output it exactly as it appears in the = original xml. An extremely stripped down example = follows:

Here is the incoming xml that needs to be = transformed.

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

<?xml version=3D"1.0" = encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>

<rn:question question_id=3D"2" split=3D"False">#2</rn:question><p><input id=3D"submit_btn" type=3D"submit" = value=3D"Submit" name=3D"submit_btn" = rn:submit=3D"true"/></p></form></body>

</html>

</document>

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

Here is a sample xsl file which will illustrate the = problem

<?xml version=3D"1.0" = encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet

xmlns:xsl=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:rn=3D"http://schemas.rightnow.com/crm/document"

= version=3D"1.0">

<xsl:output encoding=3D"UTF-8" method=3D"html"/>

<xsl:template = match=3D"node()|@*">

<xsl:copy>

<xsl:apply-templates select=3D"node()|@*" />

= </xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template = match=3D"form/@rn:webform">

<xsl:apply-templates = />

</form>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template = match=3D"rn:question|rn:answer">

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

The output I am getting (this can be reproduced with xsltproc) = is:

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

</form></body>

</html></document>

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

As you can see I am getting two opening and closing form = tags. What I want is the <form action….. and then the eventual = closing form tag as everything needs to be encapsulated with this. I tried = modifying the <xsl:template match=3D"node()|@*"> to the following = (which would be a bad solution anyways but I figured I would = try):

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

<xsl:template = match=3D"node()|@*">

= <xsl:choose>

<xsl:when = test=3D"@rn:webform =3D 'true'">

= <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"node()|@*" />

= </xsl:when>

= <xsl:otherwise>

= <xsl:copy>

<xsl:apply-templates select=3D"node()|@*" = />

= </xsl:copy>

= </xsl:otherwise>

= </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

-----------------------------------------------------------<= /o:p>

This allowed me to get rid of the duplication and the opening = form tag is correct. However, I need the closing form tag at the end. As = can also be seen, the input tag that was in the rn:question template is only = appearing after the closing form tag even though I have the = <xsl:apply-templates /> before it.
