xsl概念（XSL concept） XSL is the abbreviation of Language EXtensible Stylesheet, meaning style language can be extended. We know how to use the CSS HTML/XHTML format, although the use of CSS (CSS = HTML Style Sheets (XML) can also be formatted for browsers). But the function of CSS is limited, and CSS does not conform to the XML specification, therefore, we need to use the XSL (XSL = XML Style Sheets) to better define the style for the XML file. Of course, XSL is not only a kind of language style. It includes the following three parts: XSLT: (XSL Transformations) XML format conversion XPath: uses path expressions matching node XSL-FO: (XSL Formatted Object) XSL format object Strictly speaking, a lot of people say XSL actually refers to XSLT. To master XSL, should first understand XPath and XSL-FO. Step 1: XPath. XPath is a W3C standard. It is the node to choose or adjust the XML document by path expressions. File system path the path expression with computer is very similar. The XPath includes more than 100 built-in functions, used to handle strings, numbers, Boolean values, compare the time / date, the sequence of nodes and node content. 1, XPath node: In XPath, the assumption that a XML file includes the following 7 types of nodes: The processing instruction (processing-instruction) The root node (document | root node) The element (element) Text (text) Attribute (attribute) Namespace (namespace) Notes (comment) A simple example: students.xml ? XML version= 1 encoding= GB2312 ? students student name lang= CN FY /name age25/age /student student name lang= EN Rose/name age20/age /student /students Among them, XML? Version= 1 encoding= GB2312 ? For processing instructions, students for the root node, age25/age node elements, lang= CN attribute node. There are father and son, between nodes brother, ancestor / descendant relationships, depending on the node in the file structure of XML tree in position. 2, XPath grammar: 1) common choice: As already mentioned, XPath is th
