Subject: [xsl] XSLT basics From: Jonathan Yue <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 10:34:04 -0700 |
I am a beginner on XSLT. I read some documents and am not very clear about these concepts. Please correct me if I understand it wrong. 1) Element -- The whole thing from start tag and end tag e.g., <book title="XSLT Programming" date="2001-03-03">XSLT</book> 2) Node -- A single point on the document tree. Can be any one of an element node, attribute node, namespace node, processing instruction node, comment node or text node. 3) Element node -- Just the <book></book> part, excluding attributes, text nodes ... It seems the element includes attributes, text, etc., but the element node does not. right or wrong? 4) descendant::* -- includes all element nodes, attribute nodes, text nodes, etc. down from the current node (in the tree). right or wrong? Thanks for any comments. Jonathan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
