Details
An attribute-set contains a collection of xsl:attribute elements.
The attributes in an attribute-set can be used in several ways:
-
They can be added to a literal result element by specifying
xsl:use-attribute-sets
in the list of attributes for the element. The value is a space-separated list of attribute-set names. Attributes specified explicitly on the literal result element, or added usingxsl:attribute
, override any that are specified in the attribute-set definition. -
They can be added to an element created using xsl:element, by specifying
use-attribute-sets
in the list of attributes for thexsl:element
element. The value is a space-separated list of attribute-set names. Attributes specified explicitly on the literal result element, or added usingxsl:attribute
, override any that are specified in the attribute-set definition. -
One attribute set can be based on another by specifying
use-attribute-sets
in the list of attributes for thexsl:attribute-set
element. Again, attributes defined explicitly in the attribute set override any that are included implicitly from another attribute set.
Attribute sets named in the xsl:use-attribute-sets
or
use-attribute-sets
attribute are applied in the order given: if
the same attribute is generated more than once, the later value always takes
precedence.
