Main principles (2)

  • The templates have a selection part (LHS of the reduction rule) and construction part representing the RHS of the rule

  • Selection part: the attribute match

  • Construction part: the body of the template element

  • The own transformation then means that XSLT interpreter (XSLT processor, an XSLT engine) takes the input nodes of the document, it looks to their appropriate templates - according to the match clause and produces a result corresponding to construction content of this template.
