What is XSL?
• XSL is a language that allows one to describe a browser
how to process an XML file.
• XSL can convert an XML file into another XML with
different format.
• XSL can convert an XML file into a non-XML file.
2

Purpose
• The most common type of XSL processing is to convert XML file
into HTML file which can be displayed by browsers. We will
focus on this use of XSL.
• XSL is the bridge between XML and HTML.
• We can use XSL to have different HTML formats for
the same data represented in XML.
• Separating data (contents) from style tags (display
commands).

• <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
• <xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

• <xsl:apply-templates>
• <xsl:apply-templates match=“expression”>
• <xsl:template>
• <xsl:value of select=“expression”>
• <xsl:for each select=“expression”>
• <xsl:sort select=“expression”>
• <xsl:output>
• <xsl:copy>

Match attribute
• <xsl:template match="/">
• <xsl:template match=“/”>
….
</xsl:template>

xsl:for-each
• <xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/title"/>
• <xsl:value-of select=“name”/>
• <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

xsl:sort
<xsl:sort select="artist"/>
<tr>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

xsl:if
<xsl:if test="price > 10">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="price"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

xsl:choose
• <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="expression">
    ... some output ...
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    ... some output ....
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

EX
    <tr>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="price > 10">
          <td bgcolor="#ff00ff">

• <xsl:template match="title">
•   Title: <span style="color:#ff0000">
•   <xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
•   <br />
• </xsl:template>
13

XSl:copy
• Copying:
• xsl:copy, copies the current node
• xsl:apply-templates, processes the children of the current node
• ex. <xsl:stylesheetxmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
• <xsl:template match="title">
• <xsl:copy>
• <xsl:apply-templates/>
• </xsl:copy>
• </xsl:template>
• </xsl:stylesheet>
• xsl:copy-of element, can copy the entire subtree of each node that the
template selects
– ex. <xsl:template match="title“>
– <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
– </xsl:template>

Example of Turning XML into HTML
• <?xml version="1.0"?>
• <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="FitnessCenter.xsl"?>
• <FitnessCenter>
•         <Member level="platinum">
•                 <Name>Jeff</Name>
•                 <Phone type="home">555-1234</Phone>
