XSLT教程

XSL代表可扩充样式表语言
为了适应基于XML的样式表语言的需要，万维网联盟（W3C）开始发展XSL。
XSLT代表XSL的变革。在这个教程里，你会学到如何通过XSLT把XML文档转换成别的版式——例如XHTML。

XSLT 参考

XSLT 元素
来自W3C参考标准所定义（XSLT版本1.0）的XSLT元素。

XSLT 函数
XSLT包含了超过100个内置函数。有些是为了字符串值，数字值，数据和时间比较关系，节点和OName操作，序列操作，布尔（逻辑）值，以及更多。

XSL 语言
w3pop.com / 2006-09-19

It started with XSL and ended up with XSLT, XPath, and XSL-FO.
XSL含有三个子语言：XSLT，XPath和XSL-FO。

It Started with XSL
以XSL为开始

XSL stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language.
XSL代表着可扩充样式表语言（EXtensible Stylesheet Language）。

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) started to develop XSL because there was a need for an XML-based Stylesheet Language.
因为基于XML样式表语言的需要，万维网联盟（W3C）开始发展XSL。

CSS = HTML Style Sheets
层叠式样式表（CSS）= HTML样式表

HTML uses predefined tags and the meaning of the tags are well understood.
HTML使用预定的标签，标签的含义比较容易理解。

The <table> element in HTML defines a table - and a browser knows how to display it.
在HTML中，<table>元素定义了一个表格，浏览器知道如何去显示它。

Adding styles to HTML elements is simple. Telling a browser to display an element in a special font or color, is easy with CSS.
给HTML元素定义样式是比较容易的。通过使用CSS，告诉浏览器对特殊字体和颜色的元素进行显示，是非常容易的。

XSL = XML Style Sheets
XSL=XML样式表

XML does not use predefined tags (we can use any tag-names we like), and the meaning of these tags are not well understood.
XML不使用预定的标签（我们可以使用任何我们自己喜欢的标签名字），这些标签的含义比较难以理解。

The <table> element in HTML defines a table - and a browser knows how to display it.
<table>元素可以表示HTML表格，一种设备，或者别的一些东西，因此浏览器不知道如何去显示它们。

Adding styles to HTML elements is simple. Telling a browser to display an element in a special font or color, is easy with CSS.
XSL描述的是如何显示XML文档。

XSL - More Than a Style Sheet Language
XSL-超越样式表语言（More Than a Style Sheet Language）

XSL consists of three parts:
XSL由3部分组成：

  • XSLT - a language for transforming XML documents
    XSLT-转变XML文档的语言。
  • XPath - a language for navigating in XML documents
    XPath-对XML文档进行操作的语言。
  • XSL-FO - a language for formatting XML documents
    XSL-FO - 格式化XML文档的语言。

This Tutorial is About XSLT

针对XSLT的教程

The rest of this tutorial is about XSLT - the language for transforming XML documents.
剩下这部分的教程是关于XSLT的——转换XML文件的语言。

But you can also study our XPath Tutorial and our XSL-FO Tutorial.
同样你还可以学习 XPath 教程 和我们的 XSL-FO 教程.

XSLT 介绍
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents into XHTML documents or to other XML documents.
XSLT是一种把XML文件转换成XHTML文档或者其他的XML文档的语言。

XPath is a language for navigating in XML documents.
XPath是一种由于操作XML文档的语言。

What You Should Already Know
学前基础

Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following:
如果你想继续下面的学习，你必须得掌握下面的一些基本常识。

  • HTML / XHTML
  • XML / XML 命名空间
  • XPath

If you want to study these subjects first, find the tutorials on our Home page.

What is XSLT?
什么是XSLT？

  • XSLT stands for XSL Transformations
    XSLT代表XSL转换（XSL Transformations）
  • XSLT is the most important part of XSL
    XSLT是XSL最重要的部分
  • XSLT transforms an XML document into another XML document
    XSLT可以把XML文档转换成另一个XML文档
  • XSLT uses XPath to navigate in XML documents
    XSLT通过XPath操作XML文档
  • XSLT is a W3C Recommendation
    XSLT是一种W3C参考标准

XSLT = XSL Transformations
XSLT=XSL转换（XSL Transformations）

XSLT is the most important part of XSL.
XSLT是XSL的最重要的一部分。

XSLT is used to transform an XML document into another XML document, or another type of document that is recognized by a browser, like HTML and XHTML. Normally XSLT does this by transforming each XML element into an (X)HTML element.
XSLT用于把XML文件转换成另一份XML文件，或者转换成另一种被浏览器所识别的诸如HTML和XHTML类型的文件。通常情况下，XSLT是通过把每个XML元素转换成（X）HTML文件来完成的。

With XSLT you can add/remove elements and attributes to or from the output file. You can also rearrange and sort elements, perform tests and make decisions about which elements to hide and display, and a lot more.
通过XSML，你可以从已输出的文件里添加/移除元素和属性。你也可以把元素重新排列和分类，执行测试语句，决定是隐藏还是显示元素，或者实现其它更多的功能。

A common way to describe the transformation process is to say that XSLT transforms an XML source-tree into an XML result-tree.
对于描述转换过程，可以形象的描述为：XSLT把XML源树转（XML source-tree）换成XML结果树（XML result-tree）。

XSLT Uses XPath
XSLT对于XPath的使用

XSLT uses XPath to find information in an XML document. XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in XML documents.
XSLT通过对XPath的使用来找寻XML文档中的信息。XPath用于操作XML文件中的元素和属性。

If you want to study XPath first, please read our XPath Tutorial.
如果你想先学习XPath，请先阅读我们的XPath教程.

How Does it Work?
如何使它运行？

In the transformation process, XSLT uses XPath to define parts of the source document that should match one or more predefined templates. When a match is found, XSLT will transform the matching part of the source document into the result document.
在转换过程中，XSLT通过XPath来定义部分应该和一个或更多预定的模板相匹配的源文件。当一个匹配找到后，XSLT将会把相匹配的部分源文件转换成结果文档。

XSLT is a Web Standard
XSLT是一个网络标准

XSLT became a W3C Recommendation 16. November 1999.
XSLT在1999年11月16日成为W3C参考标准。

To read more about the XSLT activities at W3C, please read our W3C Tutorial.

XSLT 浏览器
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

Nearly all major browsers have support for XML and XSLT.
几乎所有专业浏览器都支持XML和XSLT。

Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla火狐

As of version 1.0.2, Firefox has support for XML and XSLT (and CSS).
就如1,0,2版本的火狐是支持XML和XSLTi（以及CSS）。

Mozilla

Mozilla includes Expat for XML parsing and has support to display XML + CSS. Mozilla also has some support for Namespaces.
Mozilla含有XML外部解析器并且支持XML+CSS的显示，Mozilla同时也支持一些命名空间（namespace）。

Mozilla is available with an XSLT implementation.

XSLT 转换
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

Example study: How to transform XML into XHTML using XSLT.
实例学习：如何通过XSLT把XML转换成XHTML。

The details of this example will be explained in the next chapter.
此实例的详细情况将在下一章中作详细说明。

Correct Style Sheet Declaration
正确的样式表声明

The root element that declares the document to be an XSL style sheet is <xsl:stylesheet> or <xsl:transform>.
将文件以XSL样式表进行声明的根元素（root element）是<xsl:stylesheet> 或<xsl:transform>。

Note: <xsl:stylesheet> and <xsl:transform> are completely synonymous and either can be used!
注意: <xsl:stylesheet> 和<xsl:transform>是完全同义的，任何一个都能被使用。

The correct way to declare an XSL style sheet according to the W3C XSLT Recommendation is:
声明根据W3C XSLT参考标准的XSL样式表的正确的途径是：

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

or:
或:

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

To get access to the XSLT elements, attributes and features we must declare the XSLT namespace at the top of the document.
想要有权使用XSLT元素，我们必须在文件的顶端事先声明XSLT命名空间的属性和特征。

The xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" points to the official W3C XSLT namespace. If you use this namespace, you must also include the attribute version="1.0".
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform指出了官方W3C XSLT的命名空间（namespace）。如果你使用了这个命名空间，你也必须注明属性版本（version）=1.0。

 

Start with a Raw XML Document
以XML源文件开始

We want to transform the following XML document ("cdcatalog.xml") into XHTML:
让我们把下面的XML文件("cdcatalog.xml")转换成XHTML吧。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<catalog>
  <cd>
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
    <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
    <country>USA</country>

    <company>Columbia</company>
    <price>10.90</price>
    <year>1985</year>
  </cd>

.
.
.
</catalog>

Viewing XML Files in Firefox and Internet Explorer: Open the XML file (typically by clicking on a link) - The XML document will be displayed with color-coded root and child elements. A plus (+) or minus sign (-) to the left of the elements can be clicked to expand or collapse the element structure. To view the raw XML source (without the + and - signs), select "View Page Source" or "View Source" from the browser menu.
在火狐和IE浏览器中查看XML文件的方法： 打开XML文件（通过链接）-XML文件将会显示含有颜色代码的根元素和子元素。单击左边元素的“+”和“-”，展开或者缩回元素列表。查看XML源文件的源代码（没有加号和减号），在浏览器菜单里选择“查看页面源代码（View Page Source）”或者“查看源代码（View Source）”。

Viewing XML Files in Netscape 6: Open the XML file, then right-click in XML file and select "View Page Source". The XML document will then be displayed with color-coded root and child elements.
在Netscape 6中查看XML文件的方法：打开XML文件，在XML文件里右键单击选择“查看页面源代码（View Page Source）”。XML文件将会通过标有颜色代码的根元素和子元素来显示。

Viewing XML Files in Opera 7: Open the XML file, then right-click in XML file and select "Frame" / "View Source". The XML document will be displayed as plain text.
在Opera 7中查看XML文件的方法： 打开XML文件，在XML文件里右键单击选择“框架/查看源代码（"Frame" / "View Source"）”。XML文件将会通过纯文本显示。

View "cdcatalog.xml"
查看 "cdcatalog.xml"

Create an XSL Style Sheet
创建一个XSL样式表

Then you create an XSL Style Sheet ("cdcatalog.xsl") with a transformation template:
你通过一个转换模板创建了一个XSL样式表（"cdcatalog.xsl"）。 

<?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 align="left">Title</th>

      <th align="left">Artist</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>

      <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>

  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

 

View "cdcatalog.xsl"
查看"cdcatalog.xsl"

Link the XSL Style Sheet to the XML Document
将XSL样式表连接到XML文档中

Add the XSL style sheet reference to your XML document ("cdcatalog.xml"):
把XSL样式表参数添加到XML文件"cdcatalog.xml")：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="cdcatalog.xsl"?>
<catalog>
 <cd>
  <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
  <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
  <country>USA</country>
  <company>Columbia</company>
  <price>10.90</price>
  <year>1985</year>
 </cd> . . . 
</catalog>

If you have an XSLT compliant browser it will nicely transform your XML into XHTML.
如果你有了一个合适的浏览器，它将会准确地帮你把XML文件转换成XHTML。

View the result
查看结果

The details of the example above will be explained in the next chapters.
以上实例的细节部分将会在下一章中作详细说明。

<xsl:template>
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

An XSL style sheet consists of one or more set of rules that are called templates.
XSL样式表是由一个或者更多的被称为“模板（templates）”的规则设置（set of rules）组成的。

Each template contains rules to apply when a specified node is matched.
当与指定的节点匹配时，每个模板都包含了应用规则。

The <xsl:template> Element
XSLT<xsl:template>元素

The <xsl:template> element is used to build templates.
XSLT<xsl:template>元素是用于创建模板的。

The match attribute is used to associate a template with an XML element. The match attribute can also be used to define a template for the entire XML document. The value of the match attribute is an XPath expression (i.e. match="/" defines the whole document).
Match的属性的作用是使模板和XML与元素相结合。Match属性也可以为整个XML定义模版。Match属性值是一个XPath表达式。（也就是match="/" defines the whole document）

Ok, let's look at a simplified version of the XSL file from the previous chapter:
好了，现在让我们来看一下摘自前面章节的XSL文件的简易版本。

<?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>.</td>
       <td>.</td>
     </tr>

   </table>
 </body>
 </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Since an XSL style sheet is an XML document itself, it always begins with the XML declaration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>.
因为XSL样式表是XML文档本身，所以它一般都从XML开始声明：<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8 59-1"?>。

The next element, <xsl:stylesheet>, defines that this document is an XSLT style sheet document (along with the version number and XSLT namespace attributes).
下一个元素<xsl:stylesheet>，把这份文档定义为XSLT样式表文档（跟版本号和XSLT命名空间属性一样）。

The <xsl:template> element defines a template. The match="/" attribute associates the template with the root of the XML source document.
<xsl:template>元素定义了一份模板。Match=”/”属性使模板和XML源文件的根目录联系起来。

The content inside the <xsl:template> element defines some HTML to write to the output.
<xsl:template>元素里面的内容定义一些HTML来对结果进行书写。

The last two lines define the end of the template and the end of the style sheet.
最后两行定义了模版的结束符和样式表的结束符。

The result of the transformation above will look like this:
通过上面的代码，转换的结果如下：

My CD Collection
我的CD集

Title Artist
. .

 

View the XML file, View the XSL file, and View the result
查看XML文件, 查看 XSL文件, 还有 看下最后的结果

The result from this example was a little disappointing, because no data was copied from the XML document to the output.
通过这个例子所产生的结果有点令人失望，因为没有将任何数据从XML文档中复制到结果当中。

In the next chapter you will learn how to use the <xsl:value-of> element to select values from the XML elements.
下一章当中，你将会学习如何通过<xsl:value-of>元素从XML元素中选择值。

<xsl:value-of>
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

<xsl:template> <xsl:for-each>

The <xsl:value-of> element is used to extract the value of a selected node.
<xsl:value-of>元素用于选取选择节点值。

The <xsl:value-of> Element
<xsl:value-of>元素

The <xsl:value-of> element can be used to extract the value of an XML element and add it to the output stream of the transformation:
<xsl:value-of>元素可以用来选取XML元素以及把它添加到已被转换的输出流里中去。

<?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: The value of the select attribute is an XPath expression. An XPath expression works like navigating a file system; where a forward slash (/) selects subdirectories.
注意: 选择（select）属性值是一个XPath表达式。XPath表达式的作用类似于对文件系统进行操作，通过在其前段添加“/”来选择子目录。

The result of the transformation above will look like this:
通过上面运行的代码，转换结果如下：

My CD Collection
我的CD集

Title Artist
Empire Burlesque Bob Dylan

View the XML file, View the XSL file, and View the result
XML 文件, XSL 文件, 以及 结果页面

The result from this example was also a little disappointing, because only one line of data was copied from the XML document to the output.
通过这个例子得到的结果同样让人有点失望，因为只有一行数据从XML文件中复制到结果。

In the next chapter you will learn how to use the <xsl:for-each> element to loop through the XML elements, and display all of the records.
在下一章中，你将会学到通过XML元素如何使用<xsl:for-each>元素来做循环以及显示所有的记录。

<xsl:for-each>
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

The <xsl:for-each> element allows you to do looping in XSLT.
<xsl:for-each>元素允许在XSLT里使用循环语句。

The <xsl:for-each> Element
<sxl:-each>元素

The XSL <xsl:for-each> element can be used to select every XML element of a specified node-set:
XSL<xsl:for-each>元素的作用是：选择任何一个具有指定的节点设置（node-set）的XML元素。

<?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>
      <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
      <tr>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
       <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
      </tr>
     </xsl:for-each>
     </table>
    </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Note: The value of the select attribute is an XPath expression. An XPath expression works like navigating a file system; where a forward slash (/) selects subdirectories.
注意: 选择（select）属性值是一个XPath的表达式值。XPath表达式主要用于类似文件系统的操作，而这个文件系统里是通过在前端添加“/”选择子目录。

The result of the transformation above will look like this:
上面转换结果如下：

Filtering the Output
过滤结果（Filtering the Output）

We can also filter the output from the XML file by adding a criterion to the select attribute in the <xsl:for-each> element.
我们也可以从XML文件通过将一个规则添加到<xsl:for-each>元素中的选择属性来过滤结果。

<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd[artist='Bob Dylan']">

Legal filter operators are:
正规的过滤操作是：

  • =  (equal)
    =  (等于)
  • != (not equal)
    != (不等于)
  • &lt; less than
    < 小于
  • &gt; greater than
    > 大于

Take a look at the adjusted XSL style sheet:
让我们来看一下调整过的XSL样式表：

<?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">

<xsl:sort>
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

The <xsl:sort> element is used to sort the output.
<xsl:sort>元素用于对结果进行分类。

Where to put the Sort Information
在哪儿放置分类信息

To sort the output, simply add an <xsl:sort> element inside the <xsl:for-each> element in the XSL file:
如果要对结果进行分类，可以在XSL文件里的<xsl:for-each>元素中添加一个<xsl:sort>元素。

<?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="/">

      </tr>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
    </body>
   </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Note: The select attribute indicates what XML element to sort on.
注意: 选择（select）属性需要会告诉你哪些XML元素需要进行分类。

The result of the transformation above will look like this:
通过运行上面这段代码，我们可以看到的转换结果如下：

<xsl:if>
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

The <xsl:if> element is used to put a conditional test against the content of the XML file.
<xsl:if>元素的作用是：对XML文件的内容设置一个条件语句。

The <xsl:if> Element
<xsl:if>元素

To put a conditional if test against the content of the XML file, add an <xsl:if> element to the XSL document.
如果你要对XML文件的内容设置一个条件语句，那需要向XSL文件中添加一个<xsl:if>元素。

Syntax
语法

<xsl:if test="expression">

  ...
  ...some output if the expression is true...
  ...
</xsl:if>

Where to Put the <xsl:if> Element
<xsl:if>元素应该放在哪

To add a conditional test, add the <xsl:if> element inside the <xsl:for-each> element in the XSL file:
要添加一个条件语句，那必须先在XSL文件里的<xsl:for-each>里添加一个<xsl:if>元素。

XSLT - 位于客户端
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

If your browser supports it, XSLT can be used to transform the document to XHTML in your browser.
如果你的浏览器支持XSLT，它可以在你的浏览器中把文件转换成XHTML。

A JavaScript Solution
JavaScript解决方案

In the previous chapters we have explained how XSLT can be used to transform a document from XML to XHTML. We did this by adding an XSL style sheet to the XML file and let the browser do the transformation.
在先前一章，我们已经解释了怎么用XSLT把一份文档从XML转换成XHTML。我们通过向XML文件中添加一个XSL样式表，并让浏览器对其进行转换。

Even if this works fine, it is not always desirable to include a style sheet reference in an XML file (e.g. it will not work in a non XSLT aware browser.)
即使这样做运行得不错，你也不可以绝对地将其视为一个XML文件的样式参考（比如，在不支持XSLT的浏览器中，它将不会运行）。

A more versatile solution would be to use a JavaScript to do the transformation.
更通用的解决方案是使用JavaScript来做转换。

By using a JavaScript, we can:
通过使用JavaScript，我们可以：

  • do browser-specific testing
    做浏览器的细节（browser-specific）测试
  • use different style sheets according to browser and user needs
    根据浏览器和使用者的需要使用不同的样式表。

That is the beauty of XSLT! One of the design goals for XSLT was to make it possible to transform data from one format to another, supporting different browsers and different user needs.
那是XSLT的魅力。其中一个XSLT的设计目标就是为了在支持不同浏览器和不同使用者需求的情况下，使它实现从一个格式到另一个格式的数据转换。

XSLT transformation on the client side is bound to be a major part of the browsers work tasks in the future, as we will see a growth in the specialized browser market (Braille, aural browsers, Web printers, handheld devices, etc.)
在客户端进行XSLT的转换一定是未来浏览器工作任务的主要部分，我们将会在专业的浏览器市场看到它的成长(与盲人对应的听觉浏览器, 网络打印机, 手动驱动等等)。

提示: 如果你不知道怎么写JavaScript，你可以看一下我们的JavaScript 教程.

The first block of code creates an instance of the Microsoft XML parser (XMLDOM), and loads the XML file into memory. The second block of code creates another instance of the parser and loads the XSL file into memory. The last line of code transforms the XML document using the XSL document, and displays the result as XHTML in your browser. Nice!

Since not all browsers support XSLT, one solution is to transform the XML to XHTML on the server.
因为不是所有的浏览器都支持XSLT，所以人们提出了一个在服务器端把XML转换成XHTML的解决方案。

A Cross Browser Solution
一个交叉浏览器解决方案

In the previous chapter we explained how XSLT can be used to transform a document from XML to XHTML in the browser. We created a JavaScript that used an XML parser to do the transformation. The JavaScript solution will not work in a browser that doesn't have an XML parser.
在前一章我们解释了怎样在浏览器中用XSLT把文件从XML转换成XHTML。我们创建了一个用XML解析器来做转换的JavaScript。JavaScript解决程序将不会在没有XML解析器的浏览器上运行。

To make XML data available to all kind of browsers, we must transform the XML document on the SERVER and send it as XHTML back to the browser.
想使XML数据对各种浏览器都适用，我们必须在服务器上转换XML文件，并把它以XHTML的形式发送回浏览器。

That's another beauty of XSLT. One of the design goals for XSLT was to make it possible to transform data from one format to another on a server, returning readable data to all kinds of browsers.
这是XSLT的另一个魅力。XSLT的其中一个设计目标就是能够让它在服务器端将数据从一种格式转化为另一种格式，并把所有可读的数据返回到各种浏览器上。

XSLT - 编辑XML
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

服务器上的XSLT XSLT 摘要

Data stored in XML files can be edited from an Internet browser.
储存在XML文件中的数据可以在英特网浏览器上进行编辑。

Open, Edit and Save XML
打开、编辑和保存XML的方法

Now, we will show how to open, edit, and save an XML file that is stored on the server.
现在我们将演示一下如何打开、编辑和保存一份储存在服务器上的XML文件。

We will use XSL to transform the XML document into an HTML form. The values of the XML elements will be written to HTML input fields in an HTML form. The HTML form is editable. After editing the data, the data is going to be submitted back to the server and the XML file will be updated (this part is done with ASP).
我们将用XSL来把XML 文档转换成HTML形式。XML元素值将以HTML的格式写入HTML输入域（input field）。HTML的格式是可以被编辑的。数据被编辑之后将被重新传回服务器，XML也将被升级（这份HTML元素值将被写到HTML表格中的HTML输入栏）。

The XML File and the XSL File
XML文件和XSL文件

First, look at the XML document that will be used ("tool.xml"):
首先，来看一下要用到的 XML文件("tool.xml")：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<tool>
  <field id="prodName">
    <value>HAMMER HG2606</value> 
  </field>
  <field id="prodNo">

    <value>32456240</value> 
  </field>
  <field id="price">
    <value>$30.00</value> 
  </field>

</tool>

View the XML file.

Then, take a look at the following style sheet ("tool.xsl"):
让我们看一下下面的样式表("tool.xsl"):

<?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>
<form method="post" action="edittool.asp">
<h2>Tool Information (edit):</h2>
<table border="0">

<xsl:for-each select="tool/field">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text">

<xsl:attribute name="id">
  <xsl:value-of select="@id" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
  <xsl:value-of select="@id" />

</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="value">
  <xsl:value-of select="value" />
</xsl:attribute>
</input> 
</td>

</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
<br />
<input type="submit" id="btn_sub" name="btn_sub" value="Submit" />

<input type="reset" id="btn_res" name="btn_res" value="Reset" />
</form>
</body>

</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

View the XSL file.
XSL文件.

The XSL file above loops through the elements in the XML file and creates one input field for each XML "field" element. The value of the XML "field" element's "id" attribute is added to both the "id" and "name" attributes of each HTML input field. The value of each XML "value" element is added to the "value" attribute of each HTML input field. The result is an editable HTML form that contains the values from the XML file.
上面的XSL文件对XML文件里的元素进行循环，并为每一个XML域（field）创建了输入域（input field）。XML“域（field）”元素的ID属性值被添加到每个HTML输入域（input field）的“ID”和“名字”属性中。每个XML“值（value）”元素的值要被添加到每个HTML输入域的“值”属性里。结果是一个可编辑的HTML表格包含了来自XML文件中的值。

Then, we have a second style sheet: "tool_updated.xsl". This is the XSL file that will be used to display the updated XML data. This style sheet will not result in an editable HTML form, but a static HTML table:
接下来，我们开始第二个样式表："tool_updated.xsl"。这是用来显示最新的XML数据的XSL文件。这个样式表不会产生一个可编辑HTML表格，但是会产生一个静态的HTML表格:

<?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="/">

<h2>Updated Tool Information:</h2>

<table border="1">

Tip: If you don't know how to write ASP, you can study our ASP tutorial.
提示: 如果你还不会写ASP文件的话请学习我们的ASP 教程.

Note: We are doing the transformation and applying the changes to the XML file on the server. This is a cross-browser solution. The client will only get HTML back from the server - which will work in any browser.
注意: 我们可以进行转换，并把这些改变应用到在服务器上的XML文件。这将是一个交互式浏览器的解决方案。客户端只要从浏览器获取HTML值就可以了，而且所有的浏览器都具备这样的功能。

XSLT 摘要
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

This tutorial has taught you how to use XSLT to transform XML documents into other formats, like XHTML.
这份教程已经教会了你如何通过XSLT把XML文档转换成其他格式。诸如：XHTML。

You have learned how to add/remove elements and attributes to or from the output file.
你已经学会了怎么从结果文件里添加/移除元素和属性或者将元素和属性添加/移除到结果文件里。

You have also learned how to rearrange and sort elements, perform tests and make decisions about which elements to hide and display.
你也已经学会了怎么再排列和分类元素，完成测试以及决定隐藏或显示哪些元素。

For more information on XSLT, please look at our XSLT reference.
如想获取更多XSLT信息，请阅读XSLT 参考.

Now You Know XSLT, What's Next?
现在你知道了XSLT，那下一步呢？

XSL includes 3 languages: XSLT, XPath and XSL-FO, so the next step is to learn about XPath and XSL-FO.
XSL包含了3种语言：XSLT, XPath 和XSL-FO，所以下一步应该学习的是XPath 和XSL-FO。

XPath

XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document.
XPath作用是XML文件中的元素和属性进行操作。

XPath is a major element in the W3C's XSL standard. An understanding of XPath is fundamental for advanced use of XML.
XPath是W3C XSL标准中的一个主要元素。掌握XPath进一步开发XML的基础。

Without any XPath knowledge, you will not be able to create XSLT documents.
没有任何XPath这方面的知识，你不可能创建XSLT文件。

If you want to learn more about the XPath, please visit our XPath tutorial.
如果你想学习更多XPath，请访问我们的 XPath 教程.

XSL-FO

XSL-FO describes the formatting of XML data for output to screen, paper or other media.
XSL-FO描述的是输出到屏幕、文件、以及其他媒体的XML数据的格式。

XSL-FO documents are XML files with information about the output layout and output content.
XSL-FO文件是含有关于输出版面和输出内容信息的XML文件。

If you want to learn more about XSL-FO, please visit our XSL-FO tutorial.
如果你想学到更多XSL-FO，请访问我们的 XSL-FO 教程.

XSLT 元素参考
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

The XSLT elements from the W3C Recommendation (XSLT Version 1.0).
来自W3C参考标准所定义（XSLT版本1.0）的XSLT元素。

XSLT Elements
XSLT元素

The links in the "Element" column point to attributes and more useful information about each specific element.
“元素”列中的链接指出每个特殊元素的属性和更多有用的信息。

  • N: indicates the earliest version of Netscape that supports the tag
    N: 指出Netscape最早版本的支持标签。
  • IE: indicates the earliest version of Internet Explorer that supports the tag
    IE: 指出最早的支持标签的IE版本。

Note: Elements supported in IE 5 may have NON-standard behavior, because IE 5 was released before XSLT became an official W3C Recommendation.
注意: 在IE5中被支持的元素可能含有非标准的行为（NON-standard behavior），因为IE5在XSLT成为W3C的官方参考标准之前就已经发布了。

XSLT 函数
w3pop.com / 2006-09-20

XQuery 1.0, XPath 2.0, and XSLT 2.0 share the same functions library.
XQuery 1.0, XPath 2.0, 和XSLT 2.0共享一个函数库。

XSLT Functions
XSLT函数

XSLT includes over 100 built-in functions. There are functions for string values, numeric values, date and time comparison, node and QName manipulation, sequence manipulation, Boolean values, and more.
XSLT包含了超过100个内置函数。有些是为了字符串值，数字值，数据和时间比较关系，节点和OName操作，序列操作，布尔（逻辑）值，以及更多。

The URI of the XSLT function namespace is:http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions
XSLT函数命名空间的URI是http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions

The default prefix for the function namespace is fn:.
函数命名空间的默认前缀是“fn”：

Tip: Functions are often called with the fn: prefix, such as fn:string(). However, since fn: is the default prefix of the namespace, the function names do not need to be prefixed when called.
提示: 函数经常用“fn”命名：前缀，就像“fn：string()”；当然，自“fn:”后，是命名空间（namespace）的默认前缀，但当被访问时，函数名称不需要前缀。

The reference of all the built-in XSLT 2.0 functions is located in our XPath tutorial.
在XSLT2.0 函数中所有内置的参数都在我们XPath教程里面。

In addition, there are the following built-in XSLT functions:
