XSLT examples. XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0. This section provides a checklist of progress against the published XSLT 2.0 Requirements document (see [XSLT 2.0 Requirements]). Requirement 1 must Maintain Backwards Compatibility with XSLT 1.1 [Read this as "with XSLT 1.0"] Any stylesheet whose behavior is fully defined in XSLT 1.0 and which generates no errors will produce the same result tree under XSLT 2.0 Response See J.1 Incompatible Changes Requirement 2 must Match Elements with Null Values A stylesheet should be able to match elements and attributes whose value is explicitly null. This has been handled as an XPath 2.0 requirement. Requirement 3 should Allow Included Documents to "Encapsulate" Local Stylesheets XSLT 2.0 should define a mechanism to allow the templates in a stylesheet associated with a secondary source document, to be imported and used to format the included fragment, taking precedence over any applicable templates in the current stylesheet.
Requirement 4 Could Support Accessing Infoset Items for XML Declaration. Contents [XSLT 1.0 Tutorial @ Zvon.org] Page 1 With XSL you can freely modify any source text. XSLT stylesheet 1 and XSLT stylesheet 2 produce different output from the same source file. Page 2 Every XSL stylesheet must start with xsl:stylesheet element. Page 3 An XSL processors parses an XML source and tries to find a matching template rule. Page 4 Contents of the original elements can be recovered from the original sources in two basic ways. Page 5 Page 6 Parts of XML document to which template should be applied are determined by location paths. Page 7 Processing always starts with the template match="/" . Page 8 A template can match from a selection of location paths, individual paths being separated with "|" ( XSLT stylesheet 1 ). Page 9 "//" is very common in location paths. Page 10 With modes an element can be processed multiple times, each time producing a different result.
Page 11 Quite often several templates match the same element in XML source. Page 12 Attributes can be accessed in similar way as elements. Page 13 Page 14.

Only the parameters for generating the calendar are provided through the input file, otherwise the stylesheet has the complete logic. Input, specifying the start day (1-7), days in the month (28-31), and title for the calendar. <month start="3" days="31"><name>May 2001</name></month> Stylesheet: <? Xml version="1.0"? Output looks like this in a browser: The actual HTML output: XSLT Example. Here's an example of an XML document that has been transformed using XSLT. Before... We can take a raw XML file that looks something like this: After... ...and apply XSLT so that it looks something like this: You might have noticed that the "After" shot contains more than the raw XML file. How to Do This? Instead of linking to a CSS file (as we did in the XML with CSS lesson), this time we link to a XSL file.
Step 1 (XML file): Create an XML file with the following content and save it. Step 2 (XSL file): Create a file with the following content and save it as tutorials.xsl into the same directory as the XML file. This XSL file contains XSL markup, HTML markup, and CSS.
