Moving to XML

XSL-T elements: reprise

xsl:output

allows us to define how we want the output to be formatted

xsl:template

defines what should be output for elements matching a given pattern

xsl:apply-templates

applies the templates to the elements which match its pattern

xsl:call-template

calls a template with a particular name, overriding the pattern-matching system

xsl:for-each

produces output iteratively, overriding the pattern-matching system

xsl:sort

orders the result of its enclosing element (an xsl:apply-templates or an xsl:for-each)

xsl:value-of

produces the value of the thing matched by its pattern

xsl:attribute

outputs an attribute for the output element which encloses it

There are a few more XSL elements, but these will do most things for you.
