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

XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 Programmer's Reference (Programmer to Programmer) by Michael Kay Average Customer Review: based on 9 reviews. Customer Review: Some passages of this book are on the dense side. It certainly isn't written in the chatty style, replete with bad jokes, that I've come to expect from most programming books.
