How to put 2 separate XSL element templates for the same XML node?

[SilverStray]

Hi,

Since XSL is supposed to be for formatting XML data, is it possible for me to create 2 entirely different templates for the same XML node, or for the 'assyData' node as in the example below? And if so, how do I call which template?

Here is a compressed version of my XSL code:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:if test="//step/name=='WIRE_BOND'">
<xsl:apply-templates select='assyData'/>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

I'd like to add another if-test in the code above, which will check if the step name is DIE_BOND, and if so, it will call a different template for assyData, but how?

If it could be more helpful, i put below the sample XML code.

-<step>
<name>WIRE_BOND</name>
<desc>Wirebonding Process</desc>
-<assyStepData>
-<assyData>
<compType>WIRE</compType>
..more elements here...
</assyData>
-<assyData>
<compType>EPOXY</compType>
</assyData>
</assyStepData>
</step>

-<step>
<name>DIE_BOND</name>
<desc>Wirebonding Process</desc>
..more elements here...
</step>

Hope you could help!

Thanks!

For the benefit of those who might be interested, and who might have missed this on their studies about XSL templates, I now found the solution to my problem.

There's an attribute of <xsl:apply-template> called 'mode' where I put the following:

<xsl:apply-templates select='assyData' mode='1'/>

And accordingly, my two XSL templates definition now includes the mode attribute too, as in

<xsl:template match="assyDate" mode="1">

which in my real code contains formatting for mode 1, and the other is

<xsl:template match="assyDate" mode="2">
