XSL Stylesheets

Here's what the stylesheet ch13_02.xsl might look like. In this case, I'm converting ch13_01.xml into HTML, stripping out the names of the planets, and surrounding those names with HTML <P> elements:

Listing . ch13_02.xsl
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <xsl:template match="PLANETS">
        <HTML>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </HTML>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="PLANET">
        <P>
            <xsl:value-of select="NAME"/>
        </P>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Alright, we've got an XML document and the stylesheet we'll use to transform it. So how exactly do you transform the document?
