XSLT is a relatively new specification, and it’s still developing in many ways. In this chapter from Inside XML, the author discusses the two parts of Extensible Styles Language (XSL) —a transformation language and a formatting language.

Learn more about how to use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), a powerful language for working with data in Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents. Steven Holzner, author of New Riders’ Inside XSLT, captures the excitement and power of XSLT while showing you working examples that use XSLT processors you can download free. He shows you the full XSLT syntax - from the most basic to the most advanced - and digs into many of the ways XSLT is used today.

XML Expert Benoit Marchal gives a crash course in XSL, including its uses for web publishing and data management, as well as where XSL is headed in the future.

A while back I wrote an article on how to extend XSLT through the use of JavaScript. Recently I found myself revisiting this subject due to an unusually pesky problem—I was assigned the task of rewriting the order summary page for the company's Web-based order entry system. It wasn't that there was anything specifically wrong with the page; it's just that several people using vastly different styles wrote it.

XSLT, XPATH and how to apply the concepts in .NET. Examines the concept of transformation and how an XSLT stylesheet defines a transformation by describing the relationship between an input tree and an output tree. Continues to look at the structure of a stylesheet, its main sub-components and introduces examples of what you might expect to see therein. Finally, the article examines how to utilise XSLT stylesheets in .NET.

XSLT stylesheet developers often ask how they can leave entity references in the source document unchanged as the stylesheet passes them to the result document. For example, they want an   entity reference in the source document to still be   in the result document. The usual answer is that you shouldn't need to do this, because the substitution of the entity values for the entity references shouldn't make any difference.

STYLEVISION is a graphical designer for XSLT stylesheets - among other things. A part of the XMLSPY line of products from Altova, the new 2004 release offers a wider variety of ways to look at XML data than ever before. You begine the process of working with STYLEVISION by loading a schema file and some sample XML data.

Xalan is the standard transformer for converting XML data into HTML. In this article, Larry Brown summarizes installation and setup of the Apache Xalan transformer and presents a simple Swing text editor to transform XML documents. Also, a JavaServer Page custom tag is presented to transform XML documents into different HTML documents based on the client's browser type.

Compares the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit to XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) to create mobile Web applications.

I taught a couple of full day courses last week, on XSLT and XML Schemas. The students were pretty positive banking programmers, and I only managed to disgrace myself once, when I became stroppy at a student I misheard: he was trying to be helpful, but I thought he was insanely and repeatedly insisting we should skip 120 pages of the text. Ah, the joys of fading ears. The other students evaluated me to 5 or 4 out of 5, but he only gave me 1. This is the first time that my hearing has lead to a problem like this, and it is quite saddening. (I had warned the class and I apologized when I realized what happened, no flames please!)

The purpose of this sample application is to demonstrate the following: 1) Usage of XSLT while retrieving results of a relational query as XML through ODP.NET (Oracle Data Provider for .NET) 2) Usage of XSLT while Insertion/Update/Deletion of relational data in an Oracle database using XML as input through ODP.NET.

With SMIL, you can seamlessly synchronize your video clips with accompanying audio music, just like on MTV. You can even create your own homemade interactive and adaptive MTV-like music video using SMIL. In my previous articles I demonstrated the power of SMIL in interactive and adaptive multimedia presentation and illustrated the potential use of SMIL to develop a Do-It-Yourself music video. Two approaches, namely video and slide show, were introduced in my second article for you to create your own MTV-like music video. In this article, I will explain how to combine the power of XSLT and SMIL to dynamically create, integrate and transform your data descriptors into an exciting, interactive and adaptive Do-It-Yourself MTV-like music video to be delivered on the Web.

Web Forms are one way of developing web applications in ASP.NET. Another popular approach is the use of a two-stage XML/XSLT process whereby the executable code in the application generates XML and then XSLT is used to render that XML into HTML or another markup language. In this article, we will build an ASP.NET HttpModule that supports the use of this style of web architecture. The HttpModule is based around the Microsoft XSLISAPI filter for classic ASP. Along the way we will look at several of the new low level features of ASP.NET that make it an ideal platform for building advanced web applications - previously the territory of complex APIs such as ISAPI.

Dmitry Kirsanov looks at how source definition rules can be applied to real-world source XML documents of a typical web site. Kirsanov covers markup constructs commonly used in page documents and presents complete summary examples of a page document, a master document, and a Schematron schema to validate them.

This step-by-step article shows you how to apply an Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Transformation (XSLT) to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document by using the XslTransform class to create a new XML document. XSL is an XML-based language that is designed to transform one XML document into another XML document or an XML document into any other structured document.

XSLT may be a verbose language but it makes it almost impossible for your style sheets to produce invalid XML documents. See how to use XSLT quirks to your advantage.

Discretionary behaviors are described as behaviors listed in the XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 Recommendation in which the implementation provider chooses one of several possible options as a way to handle a situation.

The goal of the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) is to transform the content of a source XML document into another document that is different in format or structure. For example, to transform XML into HTML for use on a Web site or to transform it into a document that contains only the fields required by an application.

This is a follow-up article for my "Simple XSLT & XPath grouping" article. This time I demonstrate a bit more effective way to do the grouping and also how to utilize the Muenchian grouping technique.

I have seen this question several times lately... “How do I use XSLT to remove the namespace bindings and namespace prefixes from an input XML document?”
