It only has one XML tag in it, and it's pretty straight forward, there's some text in the tag. So let's also open up, simpletransform.xslt, and this is the style sheet that we're going to build that's going to match the JavacoTea tag in this XML file right here. So first, right at the top, is my xsl:stylesheet declaration. So this tells the style sheet parser that this in fact, an XSL style sheet, and next I have a template. The template uses an XPath expression to match this template with the content in the XML file.
