# XSLT Elements Reference

The XSLT elements from the W3C Recommendation (XSLT Version 1.0).

## XSLT Elements

The links in the "Element" column point to attributes and more useful information about each specific element.

- FF: indicates the earliest version of Firefox that supports the tag
- IE: indicates the earliest version of Internet Explorer that supports the tag

Note: Elements supported in IE 5 may have NON-standard behavior, because IE 5 was released before XSLT became an official W3C Recommendation.
