The xsl:copy element may have a use-attribute-sets attribute. In this way attributes for copied element can be specified. XSLT stylesheet 2 does not work as expected (setting use-attribute-sets with name function)., because expresions in attributes that refer to named XSLT objects are not evaluated.

XSLT stylesheet 1

XML Source
<source>

<h1>GREETING</h1>
<p>Hello, world!</p>

</source>

Output
<h1 align="center" style="color:red">GREETING</h1>
<p align="left" style="color:blue">Hello, world!</p>

HTML view

GREETING

XSLT stylesheet
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
     xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
