<xsl:apply-templates> Element
The <xsl:apply-templates> element applies a template to the current element or to the current element's child nodes.
If we add a select attribute to the <xsl:apply-templates> element, this element will only process child elements that match the attribute value. We can use the select attribute to specify the order in which child nodes are processed.
Please see the following XSL stylesheet:
Example
