XML的显示--XSL

XSL包含3部分内容：
1.XSLT：是一种把XML转换为HTML的语言。
2.XPath：是一种定义XML节点路径的语言。
3.XSL Formatting Objects(XSL格式化对象)：定义XML显示的语言。
XSLT是通过把XML的每一个元素逐个的转换为HTML元素或代码片段的方法来显示XML文档的。
在转换的同时可以对XML文档添加和删除元素、添加和删除属性、对元素进行重新排列或排序、隐藏或显示某些元素、查找或选择特定元素的操作。
XSL文档本身也是一个XML文件，XSL的根元素：<xsl:stylesheet>或<xsl:transform>
booklist.xsl 如下：
 

<? xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
< xsl:stylesheet  version ="1.0"  xmlns:xsl ="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
< xsl:template  match ="/" >
< html  xmlns ="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
< meta  http_equiv ="Content-Type"  content ="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
< body >
< center >
     < table  border ="1"  width ="500px" >
     < tr >
         < td > name </ td >
         < td > price </ td >
         < td > description </ td >
         < td > publisher </ td >
     </ tr >
     < xsl:for-each  select ="booklist/book" >
     < tr >
         < td >< xsl:value-of  select ="name" ></ xsl:value-of ></ td >
         < td >< xsl:value-of  select ="price" ></ xsl:value-of ></ td >
         < td >< xsl:value-of  select ="description" ></ xsl:value-of ></ td >
         < td >< xsl:value-of  select ="publisher" ></ xsl:value-of ></ td >
     </ tr >
     </ xsl:for-each >
     </ table >
</ center >
</ body >
</ html >
</ xsl:template >
</ xsl:stylesheet >

booklist.xml:

<? xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<! DOCTYPE booklist [
<!ENTITY publisher "ABC company" >

<? xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="booklist.xsl" ?>
