The Built-in Template Rules

There are seven kinds of nodes in an XML document: the root node, element nodes, attribute nodes, text nodes, comment nodes, processing instruction nodes, and namespace nodes. XSLT provides a default built-in template rule for each of these seven kinds of nodes that says what to do with that node if the stylesheet author has not provided more specific instructions. These rules use special wildcard patterns to match all nodes of a given type. Together these template rules have major effects on which nodes are activated when.
