My xml output looks like this

XML

<Envelope>
 <Header>
  <TimeStamp>2012-08-17T12:04:21-05:00</TimeStamp>
</Header>
</Envelope>

But my file does not have the start element

XML

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

in my code i have given

XML

xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>

test1.xml:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test1-style.xslt"?>
<Envelope>
  <Header>
    <TimeStamp>2012-08-17T12:04:21-05:00</TimeStamp>
  </Header>
</Envelope>

test1-style.xslt:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl">
  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="Envelope/Header">
      <h1><xsl:apply-templates/></h1>
    </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Envelope/Header/TimeStamp">
    <b><xsl:value-of select="."/></b>
  </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/"> <!-- Envelope -->
      <html lang="en">
        <head>
          <title>Test sample</title>
          <style>
            h1 { color: red; }
          </style>
        </head>
        <body>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </body>
      </html>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:
2012-08-17T12:04:21-05:00
