XSL Technologies
XSL has two independent languages:
The XSL Transformation Language
(XSLT)
The XSL Formatting Object
Language (XSL-FO)
XSLT is used to convert an XML document to another format. XSL-FO
provides a way of describing the presentation of an XML document. Both
technologies use a supporting XML technology, XPath. XPath defines a standard
mechanism for accessing elements within a document. See Chapter 5, “The
X-Files: XLink, XPath, and XPointer,” for more information on XPath.
We’ll start with XSLT and cover the details of XSL-FO later in the
chapter.
This chapter illustrates the practical features of XSLT that are
commonly used on devel-opment projects. If you would like to view the XLST
specification, visit http://www.w3. org/TR/xslt.
