xsl:stylesheet

Specifies the start of a stylesheet.

Format

<xsl:stylesheet
               

              

                

                  xmlns:xsl="http:///www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                   

                  version="1.0" >
                   
stylesheet_body
                   

                
              
</xsl:stylesheet>
               

            

Description

A stylesheet must specify the xsl:stylesheet element unless it contains only a literal result element as the root element. The xsl:transform instruction is a synonym for xsl:stylesheet.

All XSLT elements must appear between the <xsl:stylesheet> and </xsl:stylesheet> tags. An element that is a child of an xsl:stylesheet element is a top-level element.
