Hi Rashmi,

@*: All attributes nodes.

|: Union

*: All nodes

Text(): matches any text node

And apply- templates, apply the templates for that nodes

From

XSLT &amp;lt;xsl:apply-templates&amp;gt; Element

xml - What does &amp;quot;@*|node()&amp;quot; in a XSLT apply-template select mean? - Stack Overflow

Hi Rashmi,

Please check the below information...

The XPath expression @* | node() selects the union of attribute nodes (@*) and all other types of XML nodes (node()).

It is a shorthand for attribute::* | child::node().
