The document discusses XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), which is used to transform XML documents into other formats like HTML, PDF, etc. It explains some key XSLT elements and concepts:
1. The <template> element matches XML elements and applies styles.
2. The <value-of> element inserts node values from the XML.
3. The <for-each> element loops through multiple occurrences of an element.
It also covers selecting attributes with XPath, using conditional elements like <if> and <choose>, and predicates to filter nodes. XSLT allows XML data to be transformed and presented in different formats.
XML schemas provide a more powerful way to define the structure and content of XML documents compared to DTDs. Schemas support data types, namespaces, and more complex definitions of elements and attributes. The main elements used in schemas are:
1. <xs:schema> which defines the root element and namespace for a schema.
2. <xs:element> and <xs:attribute> which define elements and attributes with attributes like name, type, and occurrence.
3. <xs:complexType> which defines complex element types with child elements, attributes, and mixed content.
Schemas allow precise specification of XML documents' structure through elements, attributes, data types and occurrence to enable validation of
This document discusses validating XML documents using DTDs. It explains that DTDs define the structure and elements of an XML document. Elements, attributes, and their content must be declared in the DTD. Elements can have text, child elements, or mixed content. Attributes have types like ID, enumerated, and default values like required or implied. The document provides examples of declaring elements, attributes, and their types in a DTD to validate an XML file.
The document discusses combining XML vocabularies using namespaces to avoid name collisions. It describes:
1) Declaring a namespace by adding an xmlns attribute to an element, which assigns a unique URI to the namespace and associates elements with a prefix.
2) Applying namespaces to elements by inserting the namespace prefix before element names. This identifies which namespace each element belongs to.
3) Using default namespaces, which omit the prefix and assume child elements belong to the namespace declared on the parent element.
XML is a markup language that defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The document describes how to create an XML document, including defining elements, attributes, and hierarchies. It also covers linking XML documents to style sheets to format the presentation of the data.
The document describes what an XML Schema is and its key components and purposes. It defines an XML Schema as describing the structure of an XML document, and that it can define elements, attributes, element sequence and number, data types, and default values. It compares XML Schemas to DTDs, noting schemas are more powerful and support namespaces and data types. The document provides examples of using XML Schema to define simple and complex elements, attributes, and restrictions.
XML Schema provides a way to formally define and validate the structure and content of XML documents. It allows defining elements, attributes, and data types, as well as restrictions like length, pattern, and value ranges. DTD is more limited and cannot validate data types. XML Schema is written in XML syntax, uses XML namespaces, and provides stronger typing capabilities compared to DTD. It allows defining simple and complex element types, attributes, and restrictions to precisely describe the expected structure and values within XML documents.
XML schema defines the structure and elements of an XML document. It defines elements, attributes, and data types. Elements are the building blocks and can be simple types like strings or integers, complex types that can contain child elements, or global types that can be reused. Attributes provide additional information for elements. An XML schema uses tags like <xs:element> and <xs:complexType> to define the document structure.

XSLT is used to transform XML documents into other formats. It uses XSLT style sheets, which contain rules that are applied by an XSLT processor to the XML input. Some key capabilities of XSLT include converting XML to HTML, sorting and filtering data, and using conditional logic. Template rules define how to retrieve element values from the XML and output them. Loops, conditional statements, and multiple sorting allow complex transformations of the XML data.
XSLT is used to transform XML documents into other formats like HTML. It uses an XML document and an XSL stylesheet to perform the transformation. The XSL stylesheet contains templates that are applied to the XML data to output a new formatted document. Common XSL elements include xsl:value-of to output node values, xsl:for-each for loops, and xsl:apply-templates to apply templates to child nodes. XSLT provides powerful tools for transforming XML but requires careful debugging due to its complexity.
XML Schema defines rules for encoding documents in a machine-readable format. It allows data exchange between systems independently of programming languages. XML Schema defines elements, attributes, and data types to structure XML documents. It provides more data typing capabilities than DTDs. Namespaces are used to avoid element name conflicts between different XML vocabularies. User-defined types can restrict built-in types or create new complex types from simple types to structure application-specific data.
This document provides an overview of XML Schema Definition (XSD). It discusses that XSD is used to describe and validate the structure and vocabulary of an XML document. It then provides an example of a simple XSD code and explains some of its key features, such as being extensible, supporting data types and namespaces. It also outlines the basic syntax of an XSD, including the required <schema> root element and optional attributes like targetNamespace. Finally, it demonstrates how to reference an external XSD from an XML document using schemaLocation.

Unleashing the Power of XSLT: Catalog Records in Batchc7002593
This document summarizes three case studies of using XSLT and AutoIT to automate cataloging workflows at different libraries. The first case study describes automating the cataloging of digitized monographs by extracting existing print records and inserting URLs. The second case study covers automating the cataloging of spoken word recordings by extracting data from a SQL database and matching it to existing analog records. The third case study involves using XSLT to "un-mulver" records for theses/dissertations that had print and microform on the same record into separate records.
The Mystical Principles of XSLT: Enlightenment through Software Visualizationevanlenz
The mature XSLT developer has an inner seeing about how a stylesheet works that can seem almost mystical to an outsider. But demystification is possible using an XSLT visualizer, making the structure of a transformation visible. Due to its functional nature, XSLT is particularly well-suited to software visualization, because an XSLT transformation can be represented and viewed as a static dataset. A subset of XSLT visualization (using a “trace-enabled” stylesheet to generate representations of transformation relationships) was used to empower non-programming staff to predict, understand, and manipulate content enrichment rules. We would like to generalize these case-specific techniques into a general tool for XSLT. There are challenges including scalability (memory usage), what to visualize and what not to, avoiding noise for the user, and whether to store annotations externally or within the result document.

It also provides examples of SOAP messages and faults.
The document provides an overview of web services, including their key features, architecture, and core technologies. It discusses how web services use standards like XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI to allow software components to communicate over the internet in a manner that is self-contained, self-describing, and platform-independent. WSDL files describe web service operations and messages using an XML format, while SOAP is the messaging protocol used to make remote procedure calls between clients and services.
Web services and EAI allow for the exchange of data between different applications and systems. Web services use common protocols like HTTP, SOAP and XML to enable interoperability. To set up inbound and outbound web services in Siebel, integration objects are created to define the data structure and business service methods are defined as the service interface. The Siebel web service configuration is then completed by creating web service records in the application administration.
The document provides an overview of RESTful web services compared to SOAP web services. It discusses how REST is based on the architectural constraints of the web and uses HTTP methods to perform CRUD operations on resources. It also covers the core concepts of REST including resources, representations, and the REST constraints of being stateless, cacheable, etc. Examples are given of how RESTful services can use HTTP features like conditional GET requests and security mechanisms. Frameworks for building RESTful services and comparisons with SOAP are also summarized.
JAX-WS is the replacement and next generation to JAX-RPC and makes web services development much easier using annotations and much less configuration. JAX-WS is useful for people building webservices/SOA based infrastructure as JAX-WS makes the web service development much easier and is a big gain for developer productivity.
The session uses a web service for temperature conversion example to build both the client side and Server side artifacts. Also on the server side both Servlet based and EJB3.0 based web service development will be demonstrated. JAXB concepts will be used to demonstrate the examples.
The session uses Eclipse Ganymede and Jboss 5.0. However JAX-WS being the standard, the code will smoothly work on any JavaEE based compliant servers.
OAuth 2.0 allows third party applications to access resources without sharing credentials. It uses grant types like authorization code and implicit grant to obtain an access token. The access token is then used by the client to access resources from the resource server. DataPower supports OAuth 2.0 and provides customization options like additional grant types and extension points to customize the OAuth handshake process.
Web services use SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. SOAP defines an envelope structure for messages. WSDL describes a service's operations, messages, and location. UDDI allows services to publish themselves so they can be discovered. The document discusses these technologies and how they enable interoperable machine-to-machine communication over the web.
The document discusses different methods for rendering and formatting XML documents, including CSS, XSLT, and XSL. CSS allows basic formatting but does not support reordering or conditional display of elements. XSLT uses XPath expressions to extract data from XML and transform it into other formats like HTML, and supports operations like reordering, adding, and deleting elements. The document then explains various XSLT elements and template rules that can be used to select, sort, and format XML data for display.
The document provides an overview of Extensible Markup Language (XML) including that it was designed to carry data rather than display it, it uses tags to separate and label different types of data, and specifies syntax rules for tags, elements, attributes and other XML standards and technologies. The document also provides examples of XML code including a basic note document and use of tags, elements, and attributes.
XSL stands for Extensible Stylesheet Language and is used to transform and format XML documents. The main components of XSL are:
XSLT is used to transform XML documents into other XML or HTML documents. It uses XPath to navigate XML elements and supports elements like <xsl:template>, <xsl:value-of>, <xsl:for-each> and <xsl:if>.
XSL-FO is used for formatting XML documents.
Some key XSLT elements are <xsl:template> which defines templates, <xsl:value-of> to extract node values, <xsl:for-each> for looping, <xsl:sort> and <xsl:if> for conditional
Rendering refers to processing an XML document to present it with the desired formatting. A style sheet performs transformations and describes how information should be presented. There are three main types of style sheets: CSS, XSLT, and DSSSL. XSLT allows advanced formatting like reordering elements and is more complex than CSS, which only supports basic formatting. XSLT uses elements like value-of, for-each, and sort to select and format data from an XML document according to template rules.
XSL is a language used to describe how to display XML files in a browser. It can convert XML files into other formats like HTML. The most common use of XSL is to convert XML files into HTML that can be displayed in browsers. Key elements in XSL include xsl:template to match nodes, xsl:value-of to extract node values, xsl:for-each to iterate over nodes, and xsl:copy to copy nodes from the XML file to the output. An example shows using an XSL stylesheet to transform an XML file about a fitness center member into an HTML web page that displays the member's name, favorite color, and phone numbers.
This document provides an overview of style sheets and how they are used to format XML documents. It discusses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), the two main standards for styling XML. CSS is used to separate presentation from structure in HTML and XML documents. XSL consists of XSL Transformations (XSLT) for transforming XML documents into other formats, and XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) for formatting XML documents. The document provides examples of using CSS and XSLT to style XML documents.
An XML schema describes the structure and elements of an XML document. It defines elements, attributes, data types, properties like required/optional, and relationships between elements. XML schema is more powerful than older DTD schemas as it allows defining data types and namespaces. Schemas are written in XML syntax, making them easy to read, write and process using standard XML tools. This document provides examples of simple and complex element definitions in an XML schema.

Schemas are written in XML syntax, making them easy to read, write and process using standard XML tools. This document provides examples of simple and complex element definitions in an XML schema.
XML is a markup language similar to HTML but designed for structured data rather than web pages. It uses tags to define elements and attributes, and can be validated using DTDs or XML schemas. XML documents can be transformed and queried using XSLT and XPath respectively. SAX is an event-based parser that reads XML sequentially while DOM loads the entire document into memory for random access.
The document discusses XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language), which is used to style XML documents. Some key points:
- XSL is to XML what CSS is to HTML - it controls how XML documents are displayed.
- XSL has three main parts: XSLT for transforming XML, XPath for navigating XML, and XSL-FO for formatting XML.
- XSLT uses XSLT stylesheets to define transformation rules that are applied to XML documents to generate output like XML, HTML or text.
- Advantages of XSLT include being programming language independent and allowing output to be altered by modifying the XSL stylesheet without changing code.
XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents into other formats like XHTML. It works by applying templates defined in an XSL stylesheet to an XML source document. Key components of XSLT include:
- The <xsl:template> element defines templates that are applied to parts of the XML document matched by an XPath expression
- The <xsl:value-of> element extracts the value of an XML element to include in the output
- The <xsl:for-each> element loops through matching elements to repeatedly apply templates

This document provides an overview of XML, including its basic structure and components. XML documents use elements to structure and tag content. Elements must be properly nested within a single root element and can have attributes. The relationships between these elements form a tree structure. XML documents also support comments, processing instructions, and character encoding. CSS and XSLT can be used to display and transform XML for web users. While databases are better for structured data, XML is well suited for loosely structured or large records.
XML is a markup language used to carry and store data. It was designed to transport data rather than display it. XML tags are defined by the author rather than being predefined. XML documents form a tree structure with a root element and branching child elements. For a document to be considered valid XML, it must follow syntax rules like having matching open and close tags and properly nested elements.
This document discusses transforming XML documents through Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). It introduces CSS syntax for defining element styles and applying CSS to XML. It then introduces XSL and its components XSLT and XPath for more advanced formatting like reordering elements. The document explains common XSLT elements like template, value-of, and apply-templates used to select data and define formatting rules. It provides examples of creating CSS and XSLT stylesheets to format product details from XML.

Here are a few thoughts on why business rule validation in middleware like the SOA Suite is still useful:
1. Centralized validation. Putting business rules in middleware allows them to be centrally defined and enforced for any service that uses that middleware, rather than requiring each service to implement the same validation logic.
2. Dynamic rules. Business rules may need to change over time as business needs evolve. Middleware rules can be updated without changing individual services.
3. Reusable validation. The same business rules may apply across multiple services. Defining them centrally avoids duplicating validation logic.
4. Standardized validation. Using a standard format like Schematron promotes consistency in how rules are defined and enforced.
Here are a few thoughts on validating business rules in middleware like the SOA Suite:
- Middleware is well-suited for business rules validation since it can centrally enforce rules for any services/applications that integrate through it. This prevents invalid data from propagating.
- Schematron provides a standard way to declaratively define rules using XPath that can't be fully expressed in a schema like XSD. This fills an important gap for rule validation.
- Validating rules in middleware doesn't prevent businesses from also validating in applications. Middleware acts as a second line of defense to catch any issues not caught earlier.
- As integration points, services exposed via middleware should ensure they only accept valid data according to
The document discusses various XML transformation languages including XSLT, XPath, and XQuery. It provides definitions and examples of how each works. XSLT is used to transform XML documents into other XML or XHTML documents using templates and XPath for navigation. XPath allows selecting nodes in an XML document. XQuery is used to query XML data similar to how SQL is used to query databases. Examples are given of XSLT and XQuery syntax and usage.
This document provides an overview of Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). It discusses how XSLT is used to transform XML documents and style their presentation. Key points include:
- XSLT uses XPath expressions to select nodes or node-sets from an XML document and then outputs the results as a new XML document that describes how to display the data.
- XSLT transformations involve parsing the source XML into a tree structure, transforming the data from the input structure to the desired output structure, and then serializing the result tree.
- XSLT stylesheets use elements like <xsl:template> and <xsl:apply-templates> to define template rules for matching

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

2. The Limitations of CSS
When presenting XML data on a browser, we use CSS files,
however CSS files have the following limitations:
● You can only display element values (you cannot display attribute
values).
● You cannot add additional text.
● You cannot control the content of the XML file, you can only display it
as it is.
● Difficult to display images or insert links.
3. XSL
XSL stands for “Extensible Stylesheet Language”. XSL specifies
how the XML document will be presented. XSL composed in to
two parts with each part acting as a separate language:
1. XSLT (XSL Transformations
2. XSL-FO (XSL- Formatting Objects)
XSL allows you to transform your XML data into a variety of
formats, including HTML, XHTML, Portable Document Format
(PDF), Rich Text Format (RTF), and even a new XML document.
4. XSLT
Features:
An XSLT stylesheet is an XML document (with elements and attributes), and
it is used to transform the contents of an XML document into another
document format.
The extension of an XSLT file is .xsl
An XSLT processor transforms an XML document into another output
format (ex: XML, XHTML, RTF). by default, an XSLT processor renders
the result document as an XML file.
An XSLT processor is included in some browsers, including Internet
Explorer and Firefox. It can also take place on a server.
* In this course, we will use a browser to transform XML to XML with formatting (the default transformation option).
7. Attaching an XSLT StyleSheet
<?xml-stylesheet type=”text/xsl” href=”url” ?>
Recall that when we applied a CSS file to an XML file we added the following
processing instruction: <?xml-stylesheet type=”text/css” href=”style.css” ?>
8. XPath
The path to reach a certain node in the xml document.
In XSLT, the content of an XML document is organized into nodes:
o Document node
o Processing instruction nodes
o Element nodes
o Attribute nodes
o Text nodes
The following are not considered as nodes:
The XML declaration.
A CDATA section.
A DOCTYPE declaration (ex: internal DTD).
12. 1- The “template” element
XSLT applys style to the XML document by applying templates to XML tags using the
match attribute. Inside the template element, we use:
1- HTML elements to apply formatting
2- XSLT elements to select elements from the XML document and control
the content of the resulting XML document.
The match attribute allows you to select the XML elements which you want to apply
the style or template to.
The match attribute contains XPath expressions to determine which element you want
to apply style to.
* note: In this course, we will match the template to the root element only.
13. 2- The “value-of” element
To insert a node’s value into the result document, you use the
XSLT element
<xsl:value-of select="expression" />
where expression is an XPath expression that identifies the node
from the source document’s node tree.
15. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head> Customers </head>
<body style="background-color: LightGray ; font-family: Cambria">
<h1> this is a list of customers: </h1>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer/name"/></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer/address"/></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer/phone"/></p>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
16.
17. The “value-of” element
The value-of element extracts a value from the XML document. Since we have
3 customers in our example, only the first value was extracted.
If we specifically wanted the second customer, the Xpath expression would be:
customers/customer[2]
18. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head> Customers </head>
<body style="background-color: LightGray ; font-family: Cambria">
<h1> this is a list of customers: </h1>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer[2]/name"/></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer[2]/address"/></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer[2]/phone"/></p>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
28. What about attributes?
So far, we used XSLT to display elements in our XML file.
How do we display the attributes?
@attribute
root-element/child-element/@attribute
34. Using the Double-forward Slash “//”
The Path to a certain node begins with the root node and proceeds down to the
selected node:
root-node/child-node/sub-child-node
To avoid listing all of the levels of a node tree, use a double forward slash
(//):
//selected-node
And for attributes: //@attribute
35. Using the Double-forward Slash “//”
When we have more than one occurrence of the same element, XPath
will return the first one it finds.
If we want to specify which occurrence we want, we specify it:
//selected-node[3]
If we want to loop over all occurrences, we use the “for-each” element.
36. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head> Customers </head>
<body style="background-color: LightGray ; font-family: Cambria">
<h1> this is a list of customers: </h1>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer/name"/></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer/address"/></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="customers/customer/phone"/></p>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
38. The Context Node
When XPath stops at a certain node, we call it the “context node”. We can refer
to it using the “.” symbol.
Example:
<xsl:for-each select=“//selected-node”>
<xsl:value-of select=“.”/>
</xsl:for-each>
This code will print all the text contained within the context node.
If the context node contains child elements, all their values will be printed.
(Attribute values will not be printed, only child element values will print out)
41. XSLT Conditional Elements: If Element
The If element syntax:
<xsl:if test=“ test “>
…
</xsl:if>
Where test is an XPath expression that is either true or false. If the test is
true, the XSLT style commands are generated by the processor; otherwise,
nothing is done.
42. <customers>
<customer custID="b123">
<name title="Mr.">Khaled</name>
<address>40 Kent st.</address>
<phone>3456123</phone>
<gender>male</gender>
</customer>
<customer custID="C136">
<name title="Mrs.">Mona</name>
<address>14 Bronson st.</address>
<phone>3456123</phone>
<gender>female</gender>
</customer>
<customer custID="b123">
<name title="Mr.">Ahmed</name>
<address>40 Kent st.</address>
<phone>3456123</phone>
<gender>male</gender>
</customer>
<customer custID="D234">
<name title="Mrs.">lama</name>
<address>17 Aberdeen st.</address>
<phone>3451111</phone>
<gender>female</gender>
</customer>
</customers>
notice that we
added a new
element “gender”
49. Conditional Operators Examples
Example 1 :
day < 5
you write it as
5 > day
Comparison tests can be combined using the “and” and “or” operators. For example:
day > 2 and day < 5
(tests whether the value of the day element lies between 2 and 5.)
Similarly, the expression
@symbol = "AA" or @symbol = "UCL”
(tests whether the value of the symbol attribute is equal to “AA” or “UCL”.)
50. Working with Predicates
A predicate is part of a location path that tests for a condition and references the
node set that fulfills that condition. The general syntax for a predicate is
node [expression]
Example:
name[3] Select the third name element in customers.
name[@title = ‘Mr.’]( match all the name who title is Mr.)
sName[@symbol = "AA" or @symbol="UCL”] (matches all sName elements
whose symbol attribute is equal to either “AA” or “UCL”.)
51. Predicates and Using XPath Functions
A predicate can contain XPath functions:
last() returns the last node in the node tree
Example: book[last()] returns the last book
position() returns the position value of the node
Example: book[position()>=2 and position()<=5] returns
the second, third, fourth and fifth book
*note: book[position()=2] is equivalent to book[2]
52. More XPath Functions
Numeric Functions:
sum()
count()
String Functions
concat(string 1, string 2, string 3,…)
Combines string1, string2, string3, ... into a single text string.
58. Working with Mathematical Operators
You can use mathematical operators inside the Xpath expressions to calculate new
values based on the element or attribute values from the XML document.
63. Sorting Nodes
To sort nodes, use the XSLT element “sort” with the “for-each” element.
<xsl:sort select=“expression” data-type=“type” order=“type”/>
The select attribute determines the Criteria under which the context node is sorted.
The data-type attribute indicates the type of data (text or number).
The order attribute indicates the direction of sorting (ascending or descending).
66. Default Values
The default value for the select attribute is the context node. Therefore, if you do not include
the select attribute, XSLT processors assume you want to sort the values of the context
node.
The default value for the data-type attribute is text.
The default value for the order attribute is ascending.
67. <h3>Orders sorted by name:</h3>
<xsl:for-each select="//name">
<xsl:sort/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
Relying on the default attribute values will return the same output:
70. <h3>Orders sorted by type, then name:</h3>
<xsl:for-each select="//order">
<xsl:sort select="name/@type"/>
<xsl:sort select="name"/>
<xsl:value-of select="name/@type"/>: <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
Here we used a double sort: first sort based on the type, then sort based on the name.
71. Element Attribute
xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl , version
xsl:template match
xsl:value-of select
xsl:for-each select
xsl:if test
xsl:choose -
xsl:when test
xsl:otherwise -
xsl:sort select , data-type , order
72. XSLT root element:
<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8"?>

version= "1.0">
</xsl:stylesheet>
