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
