    <p>Use one template to create the result document structure e.g.</p> <pre><code> &lt;xsl:template match="/"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;XML Week 7&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>then write further templates to create the content e.g.</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="lecturers"&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Week 7: Lecturers file turned to XSL:Template&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;table border="1"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;b&gt;Teaching&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;b&gt;Research&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="lecturer"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="name/title" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="name/first" /&gt;&lt;xsl:text&gt;&amp;#x20;&lt;/xsl:text&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="name/last" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="teaching/course" /&gt; and &lt;xsl:value-of select="(teaching/course)[2]" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="lecturers/lecturer/research" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>As you see, the templates do an <code>apply-templates</code> to keep up the processing.</p> <p>[edit] In response to your comment, if you want to use more templates for the different child or descendant elements of the <code>lecturer</code> element you can use</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="lecturer"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>and then write templates for the elements e.g.</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="name/title | research"&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="name/first"&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ', ../last)"/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;!-- don't output name/last as the name/first template already does --&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="name/last"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="teaching"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="course"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="course"&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="position() &gt; 1"&gt;&lt;xsl:text&gt; and &lt;/xsl:text&gt;&lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COOkay, so once I've added the template match="lecturer" do I need to change the value-of selects inside the td's to make it into a template, or is that all I need? I'm just really confused by how this whole thing works, it's been pretty poorly taught to us tbh. Thanks.

    2. COYou write a template to match a certain type of node, for instance an element node with name `lecturer` with `match="lecturer"` and inside the template you write expressions relative to the matched node as a context node. And of course you need to use `apply-templates` to make sure nodes are processed.

    3. COOkay, sorry to be a pain, but, as an example. If I wanted the title to appear using a template, how would I go about it? Would something like this work: `<xsl:template match="lecturer"> <tr> <td><xsl:apply-templates select="lecturer/name/title"/></td> <xsl:apply-templates select="lecturer" /> </tr> </xsl:template>`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
