Creating the Result Tree
Literal Result Elements
Any element in a template rule that is not in the XSL (or other extension) namespace is copied literally to the result tree
<xsl:text>
The content of <xsl:text> elements is copied directly to the result tree; whitespace is preserved by default

<xsl:text>Literal result text</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of>
Inserts the value of an expression into the result tree, converting it to a string first if necessary

<xsl:value-of select=”$count + 1″/>
<xsl:copy> and <xsl:copy-of>
Copies the current node or, in the case of xsl:copy-of, the selected nodes, into the result tree without first converting them to a string

<xsl:copy-of select=”title”/>
<xsl:element>
Instantiates the named element
…
<xsl:param name=”header”>h3</xsl:param>
…
<xsl:element name=”{$header}”>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:attribute>
Adds the named attribute to the nearest containing element
<table>
<xsl:if test=”@pgwide=’1′”>
<xsl:attribute name=”width”>100%</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>
…
</table>
