Many examples in this reference require both an XML and an XSL file. We will use collection.xml and collection.xsl that contains the following:
Example #1 collection.xml
<collection> <cd> <title>Fight for your mind</title> <artist>Ben Harper</artist> <year>1995</year> </cd> <cd> <title>Electric Ladyland</title> <artist>Jimi Hendrix</artist> <year>1997</year> </cd> </collection>
Example #2 collection.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:param name="owner" select="'Nicolas Eliaszewicz'"/> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="no"/> <xsl:template match="collection"> Hey! Welcome to <xsl:value-of select="$owner"/>'s sweet CD collection! <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="cd"> <h1><xsl:value-of select="title"/></h1> <h2>by <xsl:value-of select="artist"/> - <xsl:value-of select="year"/></h2> <hr /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
