- XSLT Namespace
- The XML namespace for XSLT. An XML namespace is a
collection of element and attribute names, identified by a Unique Resource Identifier (URI), which often takes the form of
a URL, but is really just a unique string, not a pointer to a web page. The XSLT namespace URI is
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform. In each XSLT stylesheet, you must declare this namespace in the stylesheet element
tag and bind it to a local prefix. Like the XSLT specification, we always use xsl as the XSLT namespace prefix in our
descriptions and examples, although you are free to bind any prefix to this namespace.
- XSL Instruction
- Any tag associated with the XSLT namespace.
- Template
- An element, usually with child elements, that specifies a "rule" or set of
instructions to perform when a particular kind of node is encountered in the source tree.
- XSL Template Instruction
- Any tag that occurs inside an xsl:template element and is associated with the XSLT namespace.
- Source Tree
- The XML tree input to the XSL process.
- Result Tree
- The tree that is output by the XSL process.
- Stylesheet Tree
- The stylesheet tree produced from the XSL file.
- Match Pattern
- The part of a template that defines the kind(s) of nodes to which the template applies.
