Browsers do not yet support XSLT 2.0, natively. Saxon 9 CE is a JavaScript-based XSLT 2.0 implementation. Frameless is another, more light-weight XSLT 2.0 implementation in the browser, supporting large parts of the XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 functionality See also: How can I make XSLT work in chrome? https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XSLT_2.0 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dareobasanjo/archive/2004/05/13/131166.aspx
The value of the match attribute of the <xsl:template> instruction must be a match pattern. Match patterns form a subset of the set of all possible XPath expressions. The first, natural, limitation is that a match pattern must select a set of nodes. There are also other limitations. In particular, reverse axes are not allowed … Read more
Attributes of literal result elements support the attribute value template syntax, using {}: <Party role=”{some/xpath/path}”>
<xsl:sequence> on an atomic value (or sequence of atomic values) is the same as <xsl:copy-of> both just return a copy of their input. The difference comes when you consider nodes. If $n is a single element node, eg as defined by something like <xsl:variable name=”n” select=”/html”/> Then <xsl:copy-of select=”$n”/> Returns a copy of the node, … Read more
I. Plain XSLT 1.0 solution: This transformation: <xsl:stylesheet version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration=”yes” indent=”yes”/> <xsl:template match=”text()” name=”split”> <xsl:param name=”pText” select=”.”/> <xsl:if test=”string-length($pText)”> <xsl:if test=”not($pText=.)”> <br /> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select= “substring-before(concat($pText,’;’),’;’)”/> <xsl:call-template name=”split”> <xsl:with-param name=”pText” select= “substring-after($pText, ‘;’)”/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> when applied on this XML document: <t>123 Elm Street;PO Box 222;c/o James Jones</t> produces the … Read more
What is involved in upgrading from XSLT 1.0 to 2.0? 1 – What are the possible reasons for upgrading? If you are an XSLT programmer you’ll benefit largely from the more convenient and expressive XSLT 2.0 language + XPath 2.0 and the new XDM (XPath Data Model). You may want to watch this XSLT 2.0 … Read more

This problem has a classical solution: Using and overriding the identity template is one of the most fundamental and powerful XSLT design patterns: <xsl:stylesheet version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration=”yes” indent=”yes”/> <xsl:param name=”pNewType” select=”‘myNewType'”/> <xsl:template match=”node()|@*”> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select=”node()|@*”/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match=”property/@type”> <xsl:attribute name=”type”> <xsl:value-of select=”$pNewType”/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> When applied on this XML document: <t> … Read more
Using one of the most fundamental XSLT design patterns: “Overriding the identity transformation” one will just write the following: <xsl:stylesheet version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration=”yes”/> <xsl:template match=”node()|@*”> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select=”node()|@*”/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match=”Element[@fruit=”apple” and @animal=”cat”]”/> </xsl:stylesheet> Do note how the second template overrides the identity (1st) template only for elements named “Element” that have an … Read more
why did the former code outputs TEXT, why should I insist XSL to ignore all other text? is that the behavior of all XML parsers or only of my own You are discovering one of the most fundamental XSLT features as specified in the Specification: the built-in templates of XSLT. From the Spec: There is … Read more
