Supported XSLT tokens <xsl:value of select … />
tokens: In addition to the tokens available for <xsl:template match=”…”>, the following can be used with <xsl:value-of select=”…”/>
parent::* Tests the parent element.
ancestor::* Tests all ancestors.
selfr::* Tests current element.
ancestor-or-self::* Tests all ancestors including the current element.
selfr::* Tests current element.
descendand-or-self::* Tests all descendants including the current element.

XSLT <xsl:apply templates/> This XSLT command is used inside the <xsl:template match=“…”> </xsl:template> structure to tell the system to continue processing after the template is matched. It also acts as a marker. Anything before it is output when the start XML element is matched with the template pattern. If it is omitted, the element will be hidden. Anything following it is output when the end XML element of the match occurs. Typically, line endings such as a hard return are places after <xsl:apply-templates/>
XSLT <xsl:text> The <xsl:text> … </xsl:text> construct is used to tell the system that the content of the construct is to be treated as isolated text and therefore will not be inherited.
