| <DT>XSLT Namespace</DT> |
| <DD>The <A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/">XML namespace</A> for XSLT. An XML namespace is a |
| collection of element and attribute names, identified by a Unique Resource Identifier (URI), which often takes |
| the form of a URL, but is really just a unique string, not a pointer to a web page. The XSLT namespace URI is |
| http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform. In each XSLT stylesheet, you must declare this namespace in the stylesheet |
| element tag and bind it to a local prefix. Like the XSLT specification, we always use xsl as the XSLT namespace |
| prefix in our descriptions and examples, although you are free to bind any prefix to this namespace.<BR><BR></DD> |
| |
| <DT>XSL Instruction</DT> |
| <DD>Any tag associated with the XSLT namespace.<BR><BR></DD> |
| |
| <DT>Template</DT> |
| <DD>An element, usually with child elements, that specifies a "rule" or set of instructions to perform when a |
| particular kind of node is encountered in the source tree.<BR><BR></DD> |
| |
| <DT>XSL Template Instruction</DT> |
| <DD>Any tag that occurs inside an xsl:template element and is associated with the XSLT namespace.<BR><BR></DD> |
| |
| <DT>Source Tree</DT> |
| <DD>The XML tree input to the XSL process.<BR><BR></DD> |
| |
| <DT>Result Tree</DT> |
| <DD>The tree that is output by the XSL process.<BR><BR></DD> |
| |
| <DT>Match Pattern</DT> |
| <DD>The part of a template that defines the kind(s) of nodes to which the template applies.<BR><BR></DD> |
