Name
<xsl:key>
Synopsis
Keys are comparable to identifiers in XML. This element is used in
<xsl:stylesheet>
to create a reference to
elements specified by the pattern and expression values. For example:
<xsl:key name="chap" match="chapter" use="@title"/>
This element creates a key named chap
to identify
chapters by title. You can then reference a chapter with an XPath
function such as:
key("chap", "The XSL Language") <xsl:key name="name
" match="pattern
" use="expression
"/>
