Default Transformation Template
This section describes what the default transformation template, which is used by the XSL processor for elements that has no matching template defined in the stylesheet.
Question: How an element will be transformed if there is no template defined to match that element?
So let's modify hello.xsl to:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> </xsl:stylesheet>
and view hello_xsl.xml in IE, you will get:
Hello world!
It seemed to me that the IE supplied a default transformation template.
Rule: XSL processors use a default transformation template for elements that has no matching template defined in the stylesheet. The behavior of the default template is to copy only the text part of the element's content to the output.
