copy or copy-of

dear all,
I am using this code to apply a template to the result of another one

Code:

    
<xsl:template match="tei:div[@type='edition']">       
            <xsl:variable name="nonumber">
                <xsl:call-template name="edition"/>
            </xsl:variable>  
        <xsl:for-each select="$nonumber">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="lb"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
           </xsl:template>

It looks like it works, cause I do get the results of the templates in mode="lb" but of what the edition template does no element remains. I think I have some problem in placing xsl:copy / xsl:copy-of in a useful way, as at some trials I did get both results but one after the other rather than together.

Thank you very much for any advise on this.

It's not clear what your question is. Does your code work or doesn't it? If it doesn't work, explain what you are trying to achieve and how the result differs. Or perhaps it works and you just want to understand why?

What I would like is to have results of both templates. Like this I get only the second and all the elements produced by the first disappear.

the first inserts the <lb/> on which the second template adds an attribute, as well as many other elements. once I do this only the lb with the number are given as a result.

yes, I would certainly also like to understand the all process.

Thank you very much!

I don't know what your input looks like, I don't know what your desired output looks like, I don't know what the templates you are calling actually do, so I really can't say anything helpful.
