xslt

DESCRIPTION

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> </xsl:stylesheet>

The <xsl:output> tag has all kinds of general-purpose functions. You can specify whether you're outputting text, xml, or html. You can also specify an output DTD like this:

<xsl:output doctype-system="my/spec.dtd"/>

To do an XSLT noop, outputting the same document you receive, do this:

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template>

To select a node using criteria in other nodes, use square brackets. For example, say you've got this (contrived) XML and you want just the First Name:

<employee>
    <attribute key="First Name"><value>Joe</value></attribute>
    <attribute key="Last Name"><value>Smith</value></attribute>
    <attribute key="Department"><value>Marketing</value></attribute> </employee>

You can select it like this:

<xsl:value-of select="/employee/attribute[@key='First Name']/value" />
