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.
Calculate values of XPath expressions on XML files (such as running sums, etc) Search XML files for matches to given XPath expressions; Apply XSLT stylesheets to XML documents (including EXSLT support, and passing parameters to stylesheets) Query XML documents (ex. query for value of some elements of attributes, sorting, etc)
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.
To show CDATA markup in the output, the XSLT stylesheet that contains the identity transform template (not the identity transform template itself) should make use of the xsl:output attribute called cdata-section-elements. cdata-section-elements specifies a list of the names of elements whose text node children should be output using CDATA sections.
in XSLT, the value of the href attribute of the xsl:import element/instruction is a URI reference; likewise the first argument to the document() function.
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.
