Examples
Suppose we have a style sheet named "standard.xsl", which contains the rules for message templates element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="message">
<h2><xsl:apply-templates/></h2>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="message">
<h2><xsl:apply-templates/></h2>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Another style sheet to import "standard.xsl", and modify the message elements, as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:import href="standard.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="message">
<div style="border:solid blue">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:import href="standard.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="message">
<div style="border:solid blue">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The results will put a message into the form elements:
<div style="border:solid blue"><h2>...</h2></div>
