The template that matches the root node includes an xsl:apply-templates instruction that selects book nodes for processing.
To define the template that matches the book element:
1. In the XSLT editor source document tree pane, expand the bookstore element.
2. Double-click the book element.
Stylus Studio creates a template that matches the book element. The new template is near the end of the stylesheet and has the form <xsl:template match="book">. In the tree pane, the yellow check next to the book element indicates that there is a template that matches this element.
3. In the XSLT editor pane, add the following instructions to the new template's body:
Press F5 to see the results. The result document looks like that shown in Figure 236: In the book template, the xsl:apply-templates instructions cause the XSLT processor to instantiate the default templates. For the title and price elements, this works correctly because those elements include only a text node. But for the author element, the use of the default templates copies too much information to the result table. You need to explicitly define a template for the author element. |
