XSLT PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE

This manuscript is an abridged version of a chapter from the Wrox Press book XSLT PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE . This is chapter 1 - 'XSLT IN CONTEXT' and is about the purpose of XSLT and the task it was designed to perform. It's about what kind of language it is and how it fits in with all the other technologies that you are likely to use in a typical web-based application.

This book includes the most up-to-date W3 XSL recommendations, includes a no nonsense tutorial, extensive reference for XSL support in the most popular browsers, details of using XSL to manipulate XML on the server and explains how to extend XSL to suit your needs.
