eXtensible Stylesheets Language (XSL)

eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) is a language for expressing stylesheets. It consists of three parts: 

bullet XSL Transformations (XSLT): a language for transforming XML documents
bulletXML Path Language (XPath): an expression language used by XSLT to access or refer to parts of an XML document. (XPath is also used by the XLink specification)
bulletXSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO): an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics. 

An XSL stylesheet specifies the presentation of a class of XML documents by describing how an instance of the class is transformed into an XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary.

Organization: W3C

Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 1 review.

This book (like its predecessors were and i...

The author digs immediately into the technical details, condensing a relevant amount of info in less than 200 pages; the r...

XSLT and XPath On The Edge, Unlimited Edition

Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 5 reviews.
Customer Review: This book does not teach you the concepts of XSLT. Rather, it truly delivers on a promise of providing answers to common problems. While often books use code to only illustrate the concepts explained, "XSLT and XPath On The Edge" has tons of real world code, some of which I was able to use straight from the book(without changing a th...
