# XSLT parser

This parser only supports XSLT 1.0. If a newer version (2.0 and 3.0) is specified in an input file, ctags just skips the input. With `--verbose`, ctags prints the detected version of the input file.

Scope information generated by the XSLT parser is a bit broken. Currently a period (.) is used as the separator in nested scopes. This is the default separator value in ctags.

When the XSLT parser captures a node <xsl:template match=”…”> the value of the match attribute is tagged with kind matchedTemplate. When a matchedTemplate name is stored as part of the scope information, client tools may be confused because . is used both as the scope separator and in the XPath match expression.
