| After years of anticipation and delay, the W3C finally
released the XSLT 2.0 standard in January 2007. The revised
edition of this classic book offers practical, real-world
examples that demonstrate how you can apply XSLT stylesheets
to XML data using either the new specification, or the older
XSLT 1.0 standard.
XSLT is a critical language for converting XML documents
into other formats, such as HTML code or a PDF file. With
XSLT, you get a thorough understanding of XSLT and XPath and
their relationship to other web standards, along with
recommendations for a honed toolkit in an open
platform-neutral, standards-based environment. This book:
Covers the XSLT basics, including simple stylesheets and
methods for setting up transformation engines
Walks you through the many parts of XSLT, particularly
XSLT's template-based approach to transformations
Applies both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 solutions to the same
problems, helping you decide which version of XSLT is more
appropriate for your project
Includes profuse examples that complement both the tutorial
and the reference material
The new edition of XSLT has been updated thoroughly to
explain XSLT 2.0's many dependencies, notably XML Schema and
XPath 2.0. Want to find out how the 2.0 specification
improves on the old? This book will explain.
