To enhance your reading, we also encourage you to visit UnderstandingXSLT.com. For the well-established XML to be useful when delivering documents and data on the Web, XML needs to be processed. And XSLT is an ideal processor, providing power to convert XML data for presentational purposes and to modify data structure. In this updated version of Tennison's original, acclaimed "Beginning XSLT," you'll learn the basics of how to create HTML from XML using XSLT. You'll move on to organizing stylesheets with templates, and start exploring XPath language--important for selecting pieces of data and performing calculations and string manipulations. Finally, you'll tackle some advanced topics like building dynamic XSLT applications, creating SVG with XSLT, and validating XML with Schematron. |

| Publisher Description: Welcome Welcome to Beginning XSLT, a comprehensive introduction to the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. Who is this Book For? This book introduces those with a little knowledge of markup languages (HTML, XML, etc.) to the exciting world of XSLT. No prior programming knowledge is assumed or needed. This is a beginning book, so we will aim to teach you everything you need to know from scratch. This book will be equally beneficial to designers and programmers alike. What's Covered in this Book This book is divided into two parts. The first part introduces XML and XSL T bit by bit, gradually demonstrating the techniques that you need to generate HTML (and other formats) from XML. The second part pulls the theory together by looking at some of the other things that you can do with XSLT, including generating formats other than HTML, pulling information out of a variety of XML formats, and validating XML. |
