Getting attributes

They should be prefaced with a @ in the xsl select parameter. Or one can
use an attribute template {Attrib}, but only with MSXML3 (maybe other
parsers, I only know MS)

suppose your XML is

<nodes>
<node value="test"/>
</nodes>

this is how you can get the value of the attribute

<xsl:template match="nodes">
<xsl:value-of select="node/@value"/>
</xsl:template>

Microsoft actually has a really nice XSL pattern
guide written...
