3, the circles represent elements (tags) in the XML source. The diamond shapes represent attributes (of a tag). The rectangles represent values of either the element or attribute they are associated with. Within this tree, the circles and diamonds are known as nodes. When this tree is transformed using XSLT, the processor starts with the root node and “walks the tree” in the direction shown by the arrows. When the processor encounters a node, it searches for a rule in the XSLT document, matching the name and location within the tree of that particular node.
There, I just wanted to get two lines of text; instead, I got more lines and some whitespace I didn’t expect. To get the whitespace out of the way, I obviously have to specify more closely what I want. Creating XSLT Files You have to create XML and XSLT documents before you can do anything. To create both, you have many options; the most common are discussed in the following sections. Most are Windows applications, but some are available for other platforms or are Java based and will run on any platform running the Java Runtime Environment.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this lesson, the benefit of detaching the information from the formatting is that you can search based on contextual meaning. With most programming languages, creating formatted output from such a tagged format is hard, whereas XSLT is actually designed to do this. 2 shows a sample of such a tagged document that can be formatted with XSLT. com/xmlns/code” xml:lang=”en-us”>
