	<xsl:output method="html"/>

	<xsl:template match="/child::trunk">
		<html>
			<head>
				<title>XPath Tree Tests</title>
			</head>
			<body>
				<xsl:for-each select="child::bigBranch[attribute::thickness='thick']">
					<xsl:call-template name="print_out"/>
				</xsl:for-each>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template name="print_out">
		<xsl:value-of select="attribute::name"/>

2. Print the name of the parent of each bigBranch

xsl-tree2.xsl
