Attributes
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| select | expression | Required. An XPath expression that specifies from which node/attribute to extract the value. It works similarly to navigating a file system by selecting subdirectories with a forward slash (/). |
| disable-output-escaping | yes <br>no | Optional. If set to "yes", the text node generated by instantiating the <xsl:text> element will not be escaped in the output. For example, "<" will be output as "<". If set to "no", "<" will be output as "<". The default is "no". |
