Axes play a very important role in XSLT. See XSLT reference for more details. Compare: child axis ( XSLT stylesheet 1 ), descendant axis ( XSLT stylesheet 2 ), parent axis ( XSLT stylesheet 3 ), ancestor axis ( XSLT stylesheet 4 ), following-sibling axis ( XSLT stylesheet 5 ), preceding-sibling axis ( XSLT stylesheet 6 ), following axis ( XSLT stylesheet 7 ), preceding axis ( XSLT stylesheet 8 ), attribute axis ( XSLT stylesheet 9 ), namespace axis ( XSLT stylesheet 10 ), self axis ( XSLT stylesheet 11 ), descendant-or-self axis ( XSLT stylesheet 12 ), ancestor-or-self axis ( XSLT stylesheet 13 ).
