I'm transforming xsl document to html like this:
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
Blah-blah
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
Is it right way? Or, maybe, using of xsl:element is better? I didn't saw examples with such variant:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="html">
<xsl:element name="head">
<xsl:element name="title">
Title
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="body">
Blah-blah
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Which variant is right?
Best regards.

A literal result element (i.e. your first approach) is shorter, easier to type and easier to read. I would suggest to use xsl:element only in cases where you want to compute the element name and/or namespace dynamically based on input data e.g.
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{translate(local-name(), 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
In other cases I would use literal result elements as in your first sample. But there is no right or wrong in terms of the result, both variants give the same result tree.
