An XSLT sweetener
If you’ve ever done anything with XSLT, you’ll no doubt be wondering why anyone would want to use such a verbose programming language, given that you need to churn out code such as this all over the place:
<xsl:element name="foo">
<xsl:attribute name="bar">
<xsl:value-of select="/some/xpath/@expression" />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
However, did you know that you can do this instead? Much cleaner and easier to read:
<foo bar="{/some/xpath/@expression}" />
