Exam 5: Working With Xslt and Xpath

You can test for the presence or absence of an attribute or element by entering the attribute or element name without any comparison operator.

The match attribute of the xsl:template element is used to design the output format for the specified node set.

The root document contains the data that will be transformed using a style sheet.

The xsl:value-of element applies a template for the selected nodes.

Rather than nesting the entire collection of attributes, those attributes can be grouped within a(n) _____, which allows you to add several attributes to the same element without having a long nested statement.

The _____ attribute of the output element sets the system identifier in the <!DOCTYPE> declaration.

New elements can be combined with predicates, conditional statements, and the _____ instruction to create a subset of the original source document in a new structure.

_____ was released in 1999 and enjoys universal support with XML processors and web browsers.

Jeremy has been using XML to organize data for a company that manufactures medical devices. He knows you have experience writing XML data to an output file using XSLT and XPath, and asks for your help improving the display of his data. -Jeremy would like to reference all the nodes in the node tree, and asks if it will be necessary to type them all out individually. You reassure him that he can select all the nodes in the node tree using the short path expression _____.

If there are multiple nodes that match the location path, you can create a style for each matching node using the for-each instruction.

Jeremy has been using XML to organize data for a company that manufactures medical devices. He knows you have experience writing XML data to an output file using XSLT and XPath, and asks for your help improving the display of his data. -Jeremy has installed the .NET framework and the Saxon XSLT processor. He has developed a style sheet named devices.xsl, and would like to use it to transform his devices.xml file into a web page named devices.html he can display in a browser. However, he is unsure which command to enter to execute this process. Which command do you tell him to use to transform the file correctly?

The _____ language, which was introduced by W3C, is used to access and navigate the contents of a data tree.

A _____ node is the text contained within an element.

One of the functions of XPath is to translate this hierarchical structure into an expression called a(n) _____ that references a specific node or node set from the source document.

If the root element in the result document is the XHTML element, then the result document will be created as an XHTML file.

  Hue is developing an XSLT style sheet to display data from a research survey. The structure of the surveys.xml file is shown in the accompanying figure. She comes to you for assistance in preparing the final file. -Hue would like to access the response attribute of the question element. Assume the question element is the context node. Which of the following do you tell her represents the relative path to this attribute?

A(n) predicate can also indicate the position of a node in the node tree.

A(n) _____ is any element that is part of the XSLT vocabulary.

  Hue is developing an XSLT style sheet to display data from a research survey. The structure of the surveys.xml file is shown in the accompanying figure. She comes to you for assistance in preparing the final file. -Hue would like to access the response attribute of the question element. Which of the following do you tell her represents the absolute reference to this attribute?

_____ processing is a programming technique that applies different styles based on the values from the source document.
