<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">  
  
<xsl:template match="/">  
    <html>  
        <body>  
            <p>  
            Version:  
            <xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:version')"  />  
            <br />  
            Vendor:  
            <xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"  />  
            <br />  
            Vendor URL:  
            <xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor-url')"  />  
            </p>  
        </body>  
    </html>  
</xsl:template>  
  
</xsl:stylesheet>

And the output is:

<html>  
    <body>  
        <p> Version: 1.0<br/>
        Vendor: libxslt<br/>
        Vendor URL: http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/</p>  
    </body>  
</html>
