Résumé
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) is a
versatile language used to transform XML documents into
other formats, such as HTML for display on the Web, WML for
display on WAP devices, or plain text. With the emergence
of XML as the standard for information exchange, XSLT has
become an essential language for all Web developers.
XSLT: Working with XML and HTML is a comprehensive
tutorial and reference to XSLT, covering the recently
finalized World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard. This
book will help you master XSLT features and XPath
expressions. While it's focus is on using XSLT to transform
XML to HTML, the fundamentals you learn can be applied to
all other kinds of XSLT transformations. Looking deeper
into the language, this book explains XSLT's tree-based
view of the XML document. It covers paths, the
transformation process, the XSLT control elements, how the
output document is constructed, and how to use XSLT
extensions. Specific topics discussed include:
- XML and XSLT fundamentals
- Converting an XML document to a tree
- XPath expressions and context node
- Matching templates and current node
- Control elements in XSLT
- Constructing the result tree and output document
- XSLT idioms and tips for effective use
