<xsl:apply-template> tag signals the XSLT processor to find the
appropriate template to apply, based on the type and context of each
selected node.
Following is the example of xslt template :
Simple Example 1 :
Consider this xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"?><hello-world><greeter>An XSLT Programmer</greeter><greeter1>An XSLT Programmers</greeter1><greeting>Hello, World!</greeting> </hello-world>
XSLT :
<?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:template match="/"><xsl:apply-templates select="hello-world/greeter"/></xsl:template><xsl:template match="hello-world/greeter"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
OUTPUT :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>An XSLT Programmer
Here apply templates calls : template match which in turns displays the value.

Following is the example of xslt template :
<xsl:apply-template select = Expression mode = QName </xsl:apply-template>
select | --> used to process nodes selected by an XPath expression, instead of processing all children | |||||
mode--> | Allows an element as specified by its Qualified Names to be processed multiple times, each time producing a different result |
Simple Example 1 :
Consider this xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"?><hello-world><greeter>An XSLT Programmer</greeter><greeter1>An XSLT Programmers</greeter1><greeting>Hello, World!</greeting> </hello-world>
XSLT :
<?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:template match="/"><xsl:apply-templates select="hello-world/greeter"/></xsl:template><xsl:template match="hello-world/greeter"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
