XSLT
| XSLT - elements (consult the standard for full list) | ||
| Element | Attributes and content | Description |
| <xsl:template..> | match=pattern name = qname priority = number mode = qname> <!-- Content: (xsl:param*, template) --> |
Template rule |
| <xsl:apply-templates..> | select =
node-set-expression mode = qname <!-- Content: (xsl:sort | xsl:with-param)* --> |
Applies a template rule to the current element or to the current element's child nodes |
| <xsl:call-template..> | name = qname | Calls a named template |
| <xsl:stylesheet..> | id = id extension-element-prefixes = tokens exclude-result-prefixes = tokens version = number |
Defines the root element of a style sheet |
| <xsl:include..> | href = uri-reference | Includes the contents of one style sheet into another. Note: An included style sheet has the same precedence as the including style sheet |
| <xsl:import..> | href = uri-reference | Imports
the contents of one style sheet into another. Note: An
imported style sheet has lower precedence than the
importing style sheet (Overwriting possible.) |
| <xsl:transform..> | id = id extension-element-prefixes = tokens exclude-result-prefixes = tokens version = number |
Defines
the root element of a style sheet same as xsl:stylesheet |
| <xsl:value-of..> | select = string-expression | Extracts the value of a selected node |
| <xsl:variable..> | name =
qname select = expression |
Declares a local or global variable |
| <xsl:param ..> | name = qname select = expression <!-- Content: template --> |
Declares a local or global parameter |
| <xsl:output ..> | method =
"xml" | "html" | "text" |
qname-but-not-ncname version = nmtoken encoding = string omit-xml-declaration = "yes" | "no" standalone = "yes" | "no" doctype-public = string doctype-system = string cdata-section-elements = qnames indent = "yes" | "no" media-type = string |
|
| <xsl:element..> | name = {
qname } namespace = { uri-reference } use-attribute-sets = qnames |
Creates an element node in the output document |
| <xsl:comment> | <!-- Content: template --> | Creates a comment node in the result tree |
| <xsl:attribute..> | name = {
qname } namespace = { uri-reference } |
Adds an attribute |
| <xsl:processing-instruction..> | name = {
ncname } <!-- Content: template --> |
Writes a processing instruction to the output |
| <xsl:text..> | disable-output-escaping
= "yes" | "no"> <!-- Content: #PCDATA --> |
Writes literal text to the output |
| <xsl:if..> | test =
boolean-expression> <!-- Content: template --> |
Contains a template that will be applied only if a specified condition is true |
| <xsl:for-each ..> | select = node-set-expression | Loops through each node in a specified node set |
| <xsl:choose> | <!-- Content: (xsl:when+, xsl:otherwise?) --> | Used to express multiple conditional tests |
| <xsl:when..> | test = boolean-expression | Specifies
an action for the <xsl:choose> element when the condition is true |
| <xsl:otherwise> | <!--Content: template --> | Specifies a default action for the <xsl:choose> element |
| <xsl:sort ..> | select =
string-expression lang = { nmtoken } data-type = { "text" | "number" | qname-but-not-ncname } order = { "ascending" | "descending" } case-order = { "upper-first" | "lower-first" } |
Sorts the output |
| <xsl:copy..> | use-attribute-sets
= qnames> <!-- Content: template --> |
Creates a copy of the current node (without child nodes and attributes) |
qname=
qualified name, ie. element name
