Node names and values are returned by the Name and Valueproperties. For element nodes, attributes are read using a piece of code that weexamined in detail in Chapter 2:string GetNodeAttributes(XmlReader reader){if (!reader.HasAttributes)return "";string buf = "";while(reader.MoveToNextAttribute())buf += String.Format("{0}=\"{1}\" ", reader.Name,reader.Value);}reader.MoveToElement();return buf;Output FormatsAn XSLT style sheet can declare the output format of the serialized text using the statement. This statement features several attributes, the most importantof which is method. The method attribute can be set with any of the following keywords:xml, html, or text. By default, the output format is XML unless the root tag of the resultsdocument equals . In this case, the output is in HTML.Differences between XML and HTML are minimal. If the output format is HTML, theXML well-formedness is sacrificed in the name of a greater programmer-friendliness.This means that, for example, empty tags will not have an end tag. In addition to263
