Applying Templates

You apply match templates using the apply-templates statement. This statement accepts an optional XPath expression, which is equivalent to the select attribute in an <xsl:apply-templates> element.



match configuration {
apply-templates system/host-name;
}
 
match host-name {
<hello> .;
}

The XSLT equivalent:



<xsl:template match="configuration">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="system/host-name"/>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="host-name">
    <hello>
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </hello>
</xsl:template>
