XSLT <xsl:template> Element
 Complete XSLT Element Reference
Definition and Usage
The <xsl:template> element contains rules to apply when a specified node is matched.
The match attribute is used to associate the template with an XML element.
The match attribute can also be used to define a template for a whole branch of
the XML document (i.e. match="/" defines the whole document).
Note: <xsl:template> is a top-level element.
Syntax
<xsl:template
name="name"
match="pattern"
mode="mode"
