Launching a transformation

Processing starts at the document node, which sits above the root element (the top-level element that contains all other nodes)

In a TEI document, the root element is normally TEI

Built-in template rules will walk the tree and process the entire document (see below)

Override the built-in rules by specifying your own to:

• Perform non-built-in processing
• Cause items not to be processed
