Accessing Nodes with Abbreviated Syntax

This exercise is identical to the previous exercise except that you will be using the abbreviated syntax of XPath.

Please follow these steps.

1. Open XPath/Exercises/XPathsAbbr.xsl for editing.
2. This file contains three xsl:templates, one matching Head, Body, and Foot. In each template is a comment showing what the goal output is. You will use xsl:value-of tags and XPath to create this output.
3. You may need to use some other XSL tags, such as the xsl:text tag.
4. To test your solutions, transform XPath/Exercises/BusinessLetter2.xml against XPath/Exercises/XPathsAbbr.xsl.

Solution:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
				xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<XPathTests>
			<xsl:apply-templates />
		</XPathTests>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="Head">
		<XPathTest>
			<!--OUTPUT: 
			Mr. Joshua Lockwood is from the United States-->
			<xsl:value-of select="Recipient/Name/@Title"/>
			<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="Recipient/Name/FirstName"/>
			<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="Recipient/Name/LastName"/> is from the 
			<xsl:value-of select="Recipient/Address/Country"/>
		</XPathTest>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="Body">
		<XPathTest>
			<!--OUTPUT:
			Bill Smith works at Webucator, Inc.
			His email is bsmith@webucator.com.
			If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 800-555-1000 x123.-->
			<xsl:value-of select=".//FirstName"/>
			<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select=".//LastName"/> works at 
			<xsl:value-of select=".//Company"/>
			His email is <xsl:value-of select="Para/Email"/>
			<xsl:text>
			</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="Para[last()]/text()[1]"/>
			<xsl:value-of select="Para/Phone"/>.
		</XPathTest>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="Foot">
		<XPathTest>
			<!--OUTPUT:
			VP of Operations: Smith, Bill -->
			<xsl:value-of select=".//JobTitle"/>: 
			<xsl:value-of select=".//LastName"/>, 
			<xsl:value-of select=".//FirstName"/>
