xsl:include

only for RuBoard

xsl:include includes the referenced XSLT stylesheet. It allows stylesheets to be combined without changing the semantics of the stylesheets being combined. Including a stylesheet is the same as importing a stylesheet using xsl:include , except that xsl:import causes the including stylesheet to override the included stylesheet.

Attributes

Example

Given the following XML instance document, links.xml ,

 <links>       <link name="NewRiders.com" URL="http://www.newriders.com" />       <link name="Xmlandasp.net" URL="http://www.xmlandasp.net" />       <link name="MSDN Online Library" URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library" />  </links>

The following stylesheet, links.xsl , includes the referenced stylesheet, styles.xsl.

 links.xsl    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">         <xsl:import href="styles.xsl" />         <xsl:template match="/">              <table>                   <xsl:apply-templates />              </table>         </xsl:template>    </xsl:stylesheet>  styles.xsl     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>     <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">          <xsl:template match="links/link">               <tr>                    <td>                         <xsl:value-of select="@name" />                    </td>               </tr>          </xsl:template>     </xsl:stylesheet>

This imports all the template rules and definitions from styles.xsl . The following markup is generated. Notice that the table element was generated from links.xsl and the table rows and cells were generated from styles.xsl :

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>  <table>       <tr><td>NewRiders.com</td></tr>       <tr><td>Xmlandasp.net</td></tr>       <tr><td>DevX.com</td></tr>  </table>

Parent Elements
