The select attribute

Select only the NAME of each ATOM:

  <xsl:template match="ATOM">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="NAME"/>
  </xsl:template>

• The select attribute is pretty much the same for xsl:value-of and xsl:apply-templates.

• The select attribute contains an XPath expression relative to the currently matched node.

• A raw element name is an XPath expression that selects children of the currently matched node.
