7.6 Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how to define variables and parameters using variable and param. You have also learned how to pass parameters into a stylesheet using XSLT processor mechanisms and to pass them within a stylesheet using with-param. Result tree fragments now should be a little less mysterious. You will have other encounters with variables and parameters in the chapters that follow.

In the next chapter, you'll learn how to sort nodes with the XSLT sort instruction.
