Summary
This hour gave you the complete list of supported XSL elements. Although there wasn't enough time to cover all of the elements, the most significant ones were demonstrated. Conditional processing is an important component of all computing, and the xsl:if, xsl:choose, xsl:when, and xsl:otherwise elements were all used in situations where alternatives were available.
