XSLT TemplateIt can introduce new XML elements into the outputdocument it creates, or remove others.
Change the order of elements and choose which to displayand which to hide.

Working For XSLT transformation
Two documents required XML source documentand an XSLT stylesheet to create a singleresult document.
XSLT usesXPATH to define parts of the XML source
document that match one or more predefinedtemplates.

Details of XSL StylesheetSince an XSL is an XML document, it must begin with an XMLdeclaration:
Every XSL stylesheet needs to identify the XSL namespace (xslns)so that the parser knows what version of XSLT to use.
Hence the next statement defines a root element called or .

Details of XSL StylesheetLater the prefix xsl: is used throughout
the rest of the XSL stylesheet to identifyall XSL processing statements.
If theres no xsl: at the beginning of abracketed tag, then that element is simplycopied to the output file without anyprocessing taking place. Thus with this wecan add HTML tags.
