xsl:value-of

Creates a new text node that contains the string value of an expression.

Format


<xsl:value-of select="expression" [disable-output-escaping="yes\|no"]/>

Description

The XSLT processor evaluates expression and converts the result to a string. If the string is not empty, a text node is created and added to the result. If the string is empty, the xsl:value-of instruction has no effect.

You can specify the disable-output-escaping attribute of the xsl:value-of instruction. The allowed values are yes and no. The default is no. If the value is yes, the text node generated by instantiating the xsl:value-of element is output without any escaping.


Tip		You can create an `xsl:value-of` element automatically using the XSLT mapper.

Example


<xsl:template match = "author"> <p> <xsl:value-of select = "first-name"/> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select = "last-name"/> </p> </xsl:template>

This example creates an HTML paragraph from an author element. The author element has first-name and last-name children. The resulting paragraph contains the value of the first first-name child element of the current node, followed by a space, followed by the value of the first last-name child element of the current node.
