anywhere in a tag, for example xsl:value-of.select and xsl:variable.name. name() the name of the tag being processed. Useful if the matching criteria contains |s (pipe symbols). any conditional or match criterion, for example xsl:if.test, xsl:when.test, xsl:template.select and xsl:for-each.select. @ an attribute within the XML.
In SGML, HTML and XML documents, the logical constructs known as character data and attribute values consist of sequences of characters, in which each character can manifest directly (representing itself), or can be represented by a series of characters called a character reference, of which there are two types: a numeric character reference and a character entity reference.
The XSLT 1.0 recommendation recommends the more general attribute types text/xml and application/xml since for a long time there was no registered media type for XSLT. During this time text/xsl became the de facto standard.
In C#, any variable names may be prefixed with "@". This is mainly used to allow the use of variable names that would otherwise conflict with keywords. [9] The same is achieved in VB.Net by enclosing the name in square brackets, as in [end]. [10] The "@" prefix can also be applied to string literals; see literal affixes below.
In both cases the key can take the form of an attribute, element, or computed value. The unique identifier is referred to as a key because of the use of the 'key' function to identify and track the group variable. The technique is not necessary in XSLT 2.0+, which introduces the new for-each-group tag.
XSL began as an attempt to bring the functionality of DSSSL, particularly in the area of print and high-end typesetting, to XML.. In response to a submission from Arbortext, Inso, and Microsoft, [2] a W3C working group on XSL started operating in December 1997, with Sharon Adler and Steve Zilles as co-chairs, with James Clark acting as editor (and unofficially as chief designer), and Chris ...
XSL-FO (XSL Formatting Objects) is a markup language for XML document formatting that is most often used to generate PDF files. XSL-FO is part of XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language), a set of W3C technologies designed for the transformation and formatting of XML data.
XQuery (XML Query) is a query and functional programming language that queries and transforms collections of structured and unstructured data, usually in the form of XML, text and with vendor-specific extensions for other data formats (JSON, binary, etc.).
