XSLT Part 7: Named templates, template modes, and Links

As described in the July 2003 issue of CPU - Computer Power User magazine. This article builds on the examples described in the April, May, and June 2003 issues. These examples are found here (April) (http://www.iangraham.org/writing/cpu-articles/apr03/), here (May) (http://www.iangraham.org/writing/cpu-articles/may03/), and here (May) (http://www.iangraham.org/writing/cpu-articles/jun03/).

Examples

A) Downloadable ZIP File

• There are lots of little examples here -- why not download the whole lot as a ZIP file -- jul03.zip -- and install them on your own machine?

B) The Raw Data

• test.xml -- The simple example XML data document used in the article -- this contains the raw data that is transformed into HTML. A plain text version is available at test.txt. Note that the test.xml file contains a processing instruction to reference an external stylesheet -- Internet Explorer will load this external stylesheet, with unpredictable results.

C) The XSLT Stylesheets

• transform-succeed.xsl -- The example XSLT, described in the text of the article. A plain text version is available at transform-succeed.txt.

C) Bonus Material -- Document with a DTD

• test-withDTD.xml. A plain text version is also available from test-withDTD.txt.
