Complicated Template Rule in Makefile

I have the following makefile that I use to create files from some templates, the generated files have two possible extensions:

%.tex: %.tex*_tpl
    ./generate $@_tpl -o $@

%.xml: %.xml*_tpl
    ./generate $@_tpl -o $@

Dependency list will correspond to parameters such as a.tex_tpl, a.tex-subpart1_tpl, a.tex-subpart2_tpl.

While this works, is there a way to avoid a recurrence? For example, matching *.{tex,xml}in a name of a rule and using the full matching name in the list of dependencies? Something that would look like this:

%.{tex,xml}: $@_tpl
    ./generate $< -o $@

(Although I know that %.{tex,xml}it is not a valid rule name, and you cannot use $@the dependency list)

Or any other (cleaner?) Way.
