xml - Is it possible to call a single XSLT Template for two or more nodes having different XPATH? -

i kind of not sure if possible or not hope is. want goes this:

i have xml structured follows:

<rootnode>     <node1>         <dataset1> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset1>         <dataset2> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset2>         <dataset3> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset3>     </node1>      <node2>         <dataset1> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset1>         <dataset2> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset2>         <dataset3> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset3>     </node2>      <node3>         <dataset1> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset1>         <dataset2> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset2>         <dataset3> <!--some xml tags here not necessary--> </dataset3>     </node3>         </rootnode> 

what trying display datasets in html tables using xslt... want know if possible implement single template similar dataset elements. node1/dataset1, node2/dataset1 , node3/dataset1 implemented via single template instead of triplicating code each possible xpath.

please note sample xml , names of parent nodes i.e. node1, node2, node3 etc unique , can't modified make them same.

if element names known in advance, can list them in match pattern, e.g:

<xsl:template match="dataset1 | dataset2 | dataset3">  

if element names numbered shown in example, use:

<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(name(), 'dataset')]"> 

if element names unknown, use wild card, e.g:

<xsl:template match="*"> 

to restrict scope of such template, specify level, e.g.:

<xsl:template match="/rootnode/*/*"> 

or use mode.
