The XSLT implementation of MSXML versions 4.0 and later includes all XSLT vocabularies, as specified in the World Wide Web (W3C) standards. In addition, it includes one element extension, <msxsl:script>
. The following table provides a brief summary of all the XSLT elements.
xsl:apply-imports | Invokes an overridden template rule. |
xsl:apply-templates | Directs the XSLT processor to find the appropriate template to apply, based on the type and context of each selected node. |
xsl:attribute | Creates an attribute node and attaches it to an output element. |
xsl:attribute-set | Defines a named set of attributes. |
xsl:call-template | Invokes a template by name. |
xsl:choose | Provides multiple conditional testing in conjunction with the <xsl:otherwise> element and <xsl:when> element. |
xsl:comment | Generates a comment in the output. |
xsl:copy | Copies the current node from the source to the output. |
xsl:copy-of | Inserts subtrees and result tree fragments into the result tree. |
xsl:decimal-format | Declares a decimal-format, which controls the interpretation of a format pattern used by the format-number function. |
xsl:element | Creates an element with the specified name in the output. |
xsl:fallback | Calls template content that can provide a reasonable substitute to the behavior of the new element when encountered. |
xsl:for-each | Applies a template repeatedly, applying it in turn to each node in a set. |
xsl:if | Allows simple conditional template fragments. |
xsl:import | Imports another XSLT file. |
xsl:include | Includes another XSLT file. |
xsl:key | Declares a named key for use with the key() function in XML Path Language (XPath) expressions. |
xsl:message | Sends a text message to either the message buffer or a message dialog box. |
xsl:namespace-alias | Replaces the prefix associated with a given namespace with another prefix. |
xsl:number | Inserts a formatted number into the result tree. |
xsl:otherwise | Provides multiple conditional testing in conjunction with the <xsl:choose> element and <xsl:when> element. |
xsl:output | Specifies options for use in serializing the result tree. |
xsl:param | Declares a named parameter for use within an <xsl:stylesheet> element or an <xsl:template> element. Allows you to specify a default value. |
xsl:preserve-space | Preserves white space in a document. |
xsl:processing-instruction | Generates a processing instruction in the output. |
msxsl:script* | Defines global variables and functions for script extensions. |
xsl:sort | Specifies sort criteria for node lists selected by <xsl:for-each> or <xsl:apply-templates> . |
xsl:strip-space | Strips white space from a document. |
xsl:stylesheet | Specifies the document element of an XSLT file. The document element contains all other XSLT elements. |
xsl:template | Defines a reusable template for generating the desired output for nodes of a particular type and context. |
xsl:text | Generates text in the output. |
xsl:transform | Performs the same function as <xsl:stylesheet> . |
xsl:value-of | Inserts the value of the selected node as text. |
xsl:variable | Specifies a value bound in an expression. |
xsl:when | Provides multiple conditional testing in conjunction with the <xsl:choose> element and <xsl:otherwise> element. |
xsl:with-param | Passes a parameter to a template. |
