</XSL: Apply-templates>
 

Attribute

Example 1

Enclose each title element in the document with the H1 element:

 
<? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?>

<XSL: stylesheetversion = "1.0"

Xmlns: XSL = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">



<XSL: template match = "title">

<H1><XSL: Apply-templates/>
</H1>

</XSL: Template>



</XSL: stylesheet>
 

Example 2

Use the H1 element to enclose the title elements of all subelements of the message in the document:

 
<? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?>

<XSL: stylesheetversion = "1.0"

Xmlns: XSL = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">



<XSL: template match = "message">

<H1><XSL: Apply-templates select = "title"/>
</H1>

</XSL: Template>



</XSL: stylesheet>
 

Example 3

Use the H1 element to enclose all the subnodes of the message whose mode attribute is set to "big" in the document:

 
   
 
  
    xmlns: XSL = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
