XSLT <xsl:value-of> Element

<xsl:value-of> element is used to extract the value of a selected node.

<xsl:value-of> element

<xsl:value-of> element is used to extract the value of a selected node and add it to the output stream of the transformation:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
<xsl:template match="/">
 <html>
 <body>
   <h2>My CD Collection</h2>
   <table border="1">
     <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
       <th>Title</th>
       <th>Artist</th>
     </tr>
     <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/title"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/artist"/></td>
     </tr>
   </table>
 </body>
 </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Note:select The value of the attribute is an XPath expression. This expression works in a way similar to locating a file system, where the forward slash can select subdirectories.

The above transformation result is similar to this:

View this XML file,View this XSL file,And view the result.

The result of this example has some flaws: only one line of data from the XML document is copied to the output result.

In the following chapters, you will learn how to use <xsl:for-each> The element is used to iterate over XML elements and display all records.
