Definitions and usages
The value-of-of-content element extracts the value of the selected node.
The value-of-content element can be used to pick the value of an XML element and output it.
Grammar
<xsl:value-of select="expression" disable-output-escaping="yes|no" />
Property
| Attributes | value | describe |
|---|---|---|
| select | expression | Required.An XPath expression specifies which node / attribute to extract values.It works similar to the navigation file system that selects subdirectory through the forward slash (/). |
| disable-output-escaping |
yes
no |
可选。如果值为 "yes"，通过实例化 <xsl:text> 元素生成的文本节点在输出时将不进行任何转义。比如 "<" 将输出为 "<"。如果值为 "no"，则 "<" 将输出为 "<"。默认是 "no"。 |
The following example gets the value of the first title and artist elements and places them in the table:
Instance 1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Music Collection:</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/title" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/artist" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Music Collection:</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/title" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/artist" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The following instance loops through each cd element and creates a table row with the values of title and artist for each cd element:
Instance 2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Music Collection:</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Music Collection:</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="title" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
