Name
<xsl:apply-templates>
Synopsis
<xsl:apply-templates [select=”node-set-expression
“] [mode=”mode
“]/>
This specifies that the immediate children (default) or the selected nodes of the source element should be processed further. For example:
<xsl:template match="section"> <B><xsl:apply-templates/><B> </xsl:template>
This example processes the children of the selected
section
element after applying a bold tag. The
optional select
attribute determines which nodes
should be processed:
<xsl:template match="section"> <HR> <xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph (@indent)//sidebar"/> <HR> <xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph (@indent)/quote"/> <HR> </xsl:template>
This example processes only specific children of the selected
section
element. In this case, the first target
is a sidebar
element that is a descendant of a
paragraph
element that has defined an
indent
attribute. The second target is a
quote
element that is the direct child of a
paragraph
element that has defined an
indent
attribute. The optional
mode
attribute causes only templates with a
matching mode
to be applied.
