XSLT basics

• An XSL stylesheet can be implicitly declared in an arbitrary XML document (with namespace declarations for XSLT constructs within the document element)

• An XSL stylesheet can be explicitly declared as an entire XML document by using <xsl:stylesheet> or <xsl:transform> as the document element

• Consider the following XML document:

<?xml version=“1.0”?>

<?xml-stylesheet type=“text/xsl”

href=“hello.xsl”?>

<greeting>Hello, world.</greeting>

• Suppose we want to get the following document

• <?xml version=“1.0”?>

• <B><I><U>Hello, world.</U></I></B>
