Re: [xsl] Selecting Elements fo processing

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hello Nickolay,

did you look at any tutorial or in any book? This is a question about 
the basics of XSLT.

<xsl:template match="root">
  <table border="1">
    <tr>
      <td>type</td>
      <td>features</td>
      <td>price</td>
    </tr>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
  </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item">
  <tr>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="car | potatoes">
  <td>
    <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
  </td>
  <td>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
  </td>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="maxspeed | colour | quality | pack">
  <p><xsl:value-of select="name()"/>: <xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="price">
  <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:template>

The next time please read in FAQs or tutorials first.
