Question

Is there a way to write an XSL 1.0 template which is matching in all modes?

Or do I have to write a separate template for every existing mode (including additional templates for modes being added in the future)?

Here is what I have:

<xsl:apply-templates mode='mode1' />     ... <xsl:apply-templates mode='mode2' />     ... <!-- Do not process text content of nodes no matter in what mode --> <!-- Is there a way to have only one template here? --> <xsl:template match='text()' mode='mode1' /> <xsl:template match='text()' mode='mode2' /> 

Answer 1

The predefined mode: #all (only available in XSLT 2.0 however).

edit: replicating shared mode behaviour with 1.0

<xsl:template match='/'>     <xsl:variable name='choice' select=''a''/><!-- input seed here -->     <xsl:choose>         <xsl:when test='$choice='a''>             <xsl:apply-templates mode='a'/>         </xsl:when>         <xsl:when test='$choice='b''>             <xsl:apply-templates mode='b'/>         </xsl:when>     </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match='*' mode='a'>     [A]     <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match='*' mode='b'>     [B]     <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match='text()'>     [ALL] </xsl:template>
