xsl:transform Element

The document element of a style sheet, containing <xsl:template> and <msxsl:script> elements. Synonym for xsl:stylesheet.

<xsl:transform
  id = id 
  extension-element-prefixes = tokens 
  exclude-result-prefixes = tokens 
  version = number>
  <!-- Content: (xsl:import*, top-level-elements) -->
</xsl:transform>

Attributes

version
Required. Indicates the version of XSLT the style sheet requires. Value should be set to 1.0 for this version of XSLT.
id
Specifies a unique identifier to facilitate embedding stylesheets.
extension-element-prefixes
Designates a namespace as an extension namespace. The value is a white-space separated list of namespace prefixes. The namespace bound to each of the prefixes is designated as an extension namespace. The default namespace (as declared by xmlns) may be designated as an extension namespace by including #default in the list of namespace prefixes. The designation of a namespace as an extension namespace is effective within the subtree of the stylesheet rooted at the element bearing the extension-element-prefixes; a subtree rooted at an xsl:stylesheet element does not include any stylesheets imported or included by children of that <xsl:stylesheet> element.
exclude-result-prefixes
Designates a namespace URI as an excluded namespace. The value is a white-space separated list of namespace prefixes. The namespace bound to each of the prefixes is designated as an excluded namespace. The default namespace (as declared by xmlns) may be designated as an excluded namespace by including #default in the list of namespace prefixes. The designation of a namespace as an excluded namespace is effective within the subtree of the stylesheet rooted at the element bearing the exclude-result-prefixes; a subtree rooted at an xsl:stylesheet element does not include any stylesheets imported or included by children of that <xsl:stylesheet> element.
