Sample Files for the XSLT Document Map

This example includes the XSLT file used in the XSLT Document Map.

The example demonstrates using the key() function and <xsl:key> element to group data into categories.

The mode attribute is used to produce two different tables from the same XML data. For more information about modes, see xsl:apply-templates Element.

XML File (books.xml)

Use the Sample XML File (books.xml). Below the line <?xml version='1.0'?>, add the following line:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="books.xsl"?>

Ancillary XML File (ancillary.xml)

The books.xsl file loads the following XML file to demonstrate the document() function:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<document>
   <watermark>Scootney Publishing</watermark>
   <copyright>Copyright 2000, Scootney Publishing. All Rights Reserved.</copyright>
</document>

XSLT File (books.xsl)

This file is the same one that is shown in the document map. It provides examples of common tagging within an XSLT file.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:variable name="recentdate">2001-01-01</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="ancillary" select="document('ancillary.xml')"/>
<xsl:key name="categ_key" match="book" use="genre"/>
<xsl:key name="author_key" match="book" use="author"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
