Returning XTP from a Servlet

Using XTP for Style Changes

You can use style sheets to vary how a specific tag on an HTML page displays underlying text. XTP can be used in much the same way; you define tags that can implement many different types of style. For example, if you commonly use the combination <CENTER><B> for headings in a page, you can create a new tag called <centerbig>. The XSL file code might look like this:

 <xsl:template match='*|@*'>   <xsl:copy>     <xsl:apply-templates select='node()|@*'/>   </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="centerbig">   <CENTER><H1>     <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>   </H1></CENTER> </xsl:template> 

In this XSL snippet, a match on the element centerbig causes the tags <CENTER><H1> to be output. Next, a match is made against node()|@*, which pulls any element or attribute. This has the effect of copying the next element to the output. Finally, the closing tags, </H1></CENTER>, are output.
