Name of the attribute, which can be an XPath expression or a string. Enclose string arguments in quotes.

attribute-value
—

A block of statements enclosed in curly braces that defines the attribute value.

SLAX Example

In the following example, the <book> element is output to the result tree with an attribute named format, which has the value "PDF":

<book> {
    attribute "format" {
        expr "PDF";
    }
}

In the following example, the value of the <name> node (rather than the literal string "name") is used to create an XML attribute with a value of "from‑" concatenated with the contents of the address node. Node values are selected from the current context.

<source> {
    attribute name {
        expr "from-" _ address;
    }
}
