<xsl:apply-templates> The element applies a template to the current element or a child node of the current element.

<xsl:apply-templates> element

<xsl:apply-templates> element can apply a template to the current element or the child nodes of the current element.

If we add a select attribute to the <xsl:apply-templates> element, this element will only process child elements that match the attribute value. We can use the select attribute to specify the order in which child nodes are processed.
