XSL T
Table of contents
XSLT
slt;xsl: apply-templates
The apply-templates element can apply a template to the current element or to the child nodes of the current element.
lt;xsl: apply-templates
The apply-templates element can apply a template to the current element or to the child nodes of the current element.
If we add a select property to the .lt;xsl:apply-templates> element, the element will only process child elements that match the property value.
We can use the select property to specify the order in which child nodes are processed.
Take a look at the XSL style sheet below:
<?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>
<h2>My CD Collection</h2>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="cd">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="artist"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
Title: <span style="color:#ff0000">
<xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
<br />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="artist">
Artist: <span style="color:#00ff00">
<xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
<br />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
