Web Developer Resource Index: XSL

Beyond the fairly simple and static capabilities of a presentation language like CSS are the XSL family of languages for manipulating XML documents.

XSLT is used for transforming XML documents into some other format, such as XHTML, and XSL-FO is designed for document formatting. An example of the latter is the Java-based Formatting Objects Processor (FOP), part if the Apache XML Project, used to create PDF and other document formats from XML sources.

• 2.What is XSL?

  XSL is a language for expressing style sheets. An XSL style sheet is, like with CSS, a file that describes how to display an XML document of a given type. XSL shares the functionality and is compatible with CSS2 (although it uses a different syntax). [1485]

  Although not specifically about XSL, I have included this resource in the category because DocBook is probably the best and most complete example of an XSL application available. The wood duck is pretty cool too. [167]
