Our example uses only three XSLT elements to transform the slide description format into SVG:
<template>match attribute allows you to match a tag name; every tag of the matched type has this template applied to it. For example, the following template:
<xsl:template match="slide">
<foo>Bar</foo>
</xsl:template><slide> element (and anything contained within it) with the given <foo> tag.
<apply-templates>
<value-of><value-of> tag. To retrieve an attribute from the tag that has been matched with the <template> tag, use the syntax:
<xsl:template match="tag">
<xsl:value-of select="@attribute"/>
</xsl:template>Additionally, you can retrieve the content of any element with the tag {element}, where element is the first tag that matches that name. This is used to extract the image URL in the following example.
The XSLT script in Example 7-4 uses these basic XSLT commands to convert the source XML into a valid SVG document.
