namespace="URI"
use-attribute-sets="namelist">
  <!-- Content:template -->
</xsl:element>

Attributes

Attribute Value Description
name name Required. Specifies the name of the element to be created (the value of the name attribute can be set to an expression that is computed at run-time, like this: <xsl:element name="{$country}" />
namespace URI Optional. Specifies the namespace URI of the element (the value of the namespace attribute can be set to an expression that is computed at run-time, like this: <xsl:element name="{$country}" namespace="{$someuri}"/>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
    <xsl:element name="singer">
      <xsl:value-of select="artist" />
