Category: instruction
Content: sequence-constructor
Permitted parent elements: any XSLT element whose content model is sequence-constructor; any literal result element

Attributes

`name`	`{ ncname }`	The name of the PI. This attribute is interpreted as an attribute value template, so it may contain string expressions within curly braces.
`select?`	`expression`	The data part of the PI may be given either by a `select` attribute or by an enclosed sequence constructor. If the `select` attribute is used and the value is a sequence, then the items in the sequence are output space-separated.

Details

The xsl:processing-instruction element can appear anywhere within an xsl:template. Note that special characters occurring within the PI text will not be escaped.

Examples

<xsl:processing-instruction name="submit-invoice">version="1.0"</xsl:processing-instruction>
