The <xsl:apply-templates> element applies a template to
the current element or to the current element's child nodes.
The <xsl:apply-templates> Element
The <xsl:apply-templates> element applies a template to the current
element or to the current element's child nodes.
If we add a select attribute to the <xsl:apply-templates>
element it will process only the child element that matches the value of the
attribute. We can use the select attribute to specify the order in which the
child nodes are processed.
Look at the following XSL style sheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>My CD Collection</h2>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="cd">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="artist"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
Title: <span style="color:#ff0000">
<xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
<br />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="artist">
Artist: <span style="color:#00ff00">
<xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
<br />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
