Combining Data-Driven and Template-Driven Transformations
In practice, it might be most effective to combine data-driven transformations with template-driven ones. The following is an example.
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE><xsl:value-of select="document/title"/></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1><xsl:value-of select="document/title"/></H1>
<xsl:apply-templates select="document/section"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
Here, the template rules for the top-level element are template-driven. They stipulate that, in the output, the title of the document always precedes the sections of the document — even when the order is different in the source document. The data-driven transformations apply only to the sections of the source document.
The following topic provides the complete source files and output for this example.
