Editing the Template That Matches the Root Node

This topic is part of a sequence that starts with Creating a New Sample Stylesheet.

Begin writing your stylesheet by adding instructions to the template that explicitly matches the root node in your source document:

In the XSLT editor, edit the contents of the root template so that it contains only the following contents. As you type, Stylus Studio displays a pop-up menu that lists possible instructions. You can scroll the list and double-click the entry you want, or you can continue typing. If you want, you can copy the text from here and paste it into the Templates view.

<html> 
<body> 
<h3><center>Books in Stock</center></h3> 
<table align="center" cellpadding="5"> 
  <tr> 
    <th>Title</th> 
    <th>Author</th> 
    <th>Price</th> 
  </tr> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="bookstore/book"/> 
</table> 
</body> 
</html>

Ensure that you do one of the following:

Remove the xsl:apply-templates instruction that you inserted earlier.

Edit the xsl:apply-templates instruction to include the select attribute as shown above, and place it in the correct location.
