XSLT Element Reference
Definition and Usage
The <xsl:value-of> element element extracts the value of a selected node.
The <xsl:value-of> element can be used to select the value of an XML element and add it to the output.
Syntax
Attributes
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| select | expression | Required. An XPath expression that specifies which node/attribute to extract the value from. It works like navigating a file system where a forward slash (/) selects subdirectories. |
| disable-output-escaping | yes no |
Optional. "yes" indicates that special characters (like "<") should be output as is. "no" indicates that special characters (like "<") should be output as "<". Default is "no" |
Examples
The example below puts the values from the first title and artist elements and puts it in a table:
Example 1
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Music Collection:</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/title" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/artist" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The example below loops trough each cd element and creates a table row with the values from title and artist for each cd element:
Example 2

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Music Collection:</h1>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
