Do you mean the way to address it in XPath? One way would be to set the context using for-each and then pick and choose what you need.

If you had prefixed text:

  <xsl:for-each select="lln[(_at_)objname='Folder']">
    <!--prefix stuff-->
    <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
    <!--infix stuff-->
    <xsl:value-of select="@description"/>
    <!--infix stuff-->
    <xsl:value-of select="n/@name"/>
    <!--suffix stuff-->
  </xsl:for-each>

If you just wanted them grouped together, you could concatenate them with spaces (or not):

  <xsl:for-each select="lln[(_at_)objname='Folder']">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat( @id, ' ', @description, ' ', n/@name )"/>
  </xsl:for-each>

If you want to create an importable fragment with which you can specialize the processing of each of the elements by an importing stylesheet with overriding template rules:

  <xsl:for-each select="lln[(_at_)objname='Folder']">
    <!--prefix stuff-->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@id"/>
    <!--infix stuff-->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@description"/>
    <!--infix stuff-->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="n/@name"/>
    <!--suffix stuff-->
  </xsl:for-each>

Do you mean the way to display it in appearance?  I like blue, myself.

I hope this helps!

<ll>
 <lln id="123" objname="Folder" description="a folder" name="lln one
name">
  <n name="n one name"/>
 </lln>
 <lln id="131" objname="Folder" description="a folder1" name="lln one
name1">
  <n name="n one name1"/>
 </lln>
 <lln id="143" objname="Document" description="a folder2" name="lln one
name2">
  <n name="n one name2"/>
 </lln>
