XSL Concepts and Practical Use: Transformations

Applying Style Procedurally

The other model for applying style is to select each action procedurally. A series of templates is created, such that each template explicitly selects and processes the necessary elements.

<xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each select="row">
  <tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="entry">
      <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:template name="...">

<xsl:template name="admonition">
  <xsl:param name="type">warning</xsl:param>
  ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:call-template>

<xsl:call-template name="admonition">
  <xsl:with-param name="type">caution</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
