Tip: Use imports and includes to override XSLT templates

Now on IBM developerWorks: Tip: Use imports and includes to override XSLT templates -- Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) provide two different ways to combine several style sheets in the transformation of a single source document. In the process, it's almost inevitable that more than one template will apply to a single node. Which template is actually applied depends on whether and how the template has been included in the main style sheet.
