Moving to XML

XSL: Summary
-
Transformation language of unquestionable merit, greatly
aids separating content from presentation.
-
Designed primarily to transform XML to XSL-FO, but can
transform to any other XML dialect (including XHTML).
-
Recommendation:
-
use XSL-T to map XML into XHTML for presentation to
users, decorate with CSS
-
use XSL-T to map XML to other XML dialects as needed
for communication with other organisations
-
ignore XSL-FO for now
