Developing FileMaker XSLT stylesheets 79
<xsl:template match="/fmrs:fmresultset">
<html>
<body>
<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">
Apple Stock Price: <xsl:value-of select="fmp-ex:get_quote('AAPL')"/>

When the Web Publishing Engine processes this stylesheet, it requests the stock information from Yahoo.
The get_quote() function parses the stock quote data and returns the data to the stylesheet. The transformed
output appears in the browser:
