xsl:stylesheet

Specifies the start of a stylesheet.

Format

A stylesheet must specify the xsl:stylesheet element unless it contains only a literal result element as the root element. The xsl:transform instruction is a synonym for xsl:stylesheet.

All XSLT elements must appear between the <xsl:stylesheet> and </xsl:stylesheet> tags. An element that is a child of an xsl:stylesheet element is a top-level element.
