Editing XSLT (section)

===Example 1 (transforming XML to XML)===
This XSLT stylesheet provides templates to transform the XML document:<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/persons">
    <root>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="person"/>
    </root>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="person">
    <name username="{@username}">
      <xsl:value-of select="name" />
    </name>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
</syntaxhighlight>

Its evaluation results in a new XML document, having another structure:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <name username="JS1">John</name>
  <name username="MI1">Morka</name>
</root>
</syntaxhighlight>
