|
|
<div><p>Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) allows you to format and reorganize
|
|
existing XML documents into another format (for example, XML or HTML). </p>
|
|
<p>You can use XSL to reformat an XML file to specify the how the data is
|
|
to be presented on the web via XSLT stylesheets. You can also write XSLT stylesheets
|
|
to reorganize an XML document to remove or add elements or to change
|
|
it into another XML document. XSLT stylesheets are written in XML to achieve
|
|
this.</p>
|
|
<p>This process has two basic components:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Use XSL stylesheets to define a set of patterns and templates you want
|
|
to use to replace XML elements. A pattern identifies the XML element, and
|
|
the corresponding template is used by an XSL processor to actually replace
|
|
the XML element. For example, you can transform data elements in an XML document
|
|
to display appropriately in a browser or mailing label.</li>
|
|
<li>Use XSLT documents to transform the hierarchy of XML data into a different
|
|
kind of tree, reordering elements as you prefer. For example, you can add
|
|
a table of contents or an index to a set of data that does not have one. You
|
|
can also use XSLT to transform the grammar of XML documents. For example,
|
|
you can transform the grammar for a set of incoming XML request documents
|
|
to a different XML grammar required by the receiving application.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>These technologies do more than format the display of an XML document.
|
|
They change it so that it becomes a different kind of document. In conjunction
|
|
with other XML tools and extensions, such as parsers and XML Linking Language
|
|
(XLink), you can produce new documents formats such as specific word processing
|
|
formats, portable document format (PDF), HTML, and more.</p>
