SLAX Example
In the following example, the <book> element is output to the result tree with an attribute named format, which has the value "PDF":
<book> {
attribute "format" {
expr "PDF";
}
}In the following example, the value of the <name> node (rather than the literal string "name")
is used to create an XML attribute with a value of "from‑" concatenated
with the contents of the address node. Node values are selected from
the current context.
<source> {
attribute name {
expr "from-" _ address;
}
}
