[SlugBug] more xslt questions. ignore if offended!

[Mike Dewar]

OK. Have edited the xsl as you suggested. Thanks for the help.

I'm using Perl and the XML::XSLT library to do the transformation.

It's still spitting out the contents of the last <page>  element rather 
than the page element with the attribute title="home". Am I selecting 
it correctly with the lines:

<xsl:apply-templates select="page[@title='Home']"/>

....

<xsl:template match="page">

...

</xsl:template>

?

I can't for the life of me figure this out and I wanna set fire to my 
laptop.

Cheers

Mike
