Your Source for Real-World XSLT Solutions
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation, along with the XML Path Language, give you the power to transform XML documents into HTML documents, or to other XML documents that you can use in Web-based applications. But how do you implement XSLT in the real world? This book provides the answer. Covering everything from reformatting numbers to create dynamic XSLT applications, XSLT expert Jeni Tennison delivers a wealth of ready-to-use utility templates and practical XSLT solutions -- everything you need to jump-start XSLT development.
Your Road Map to Rapid XSLT Development
* Take advantage of utility templates for searching and replacing strings, calculating minimums, and more
* Build your own recursive templates or use simple Xpaths
* Discover ready-made solutions for filtering, numbering, grouping, and other transformations
* Understand the building blocks of XSLT applications
* Separate style from format and break up your stylesheet into functional modules that are easier to maintain and reuse
* Build dynamic applications that use client-side processing with MSXML or server-side processing with Cocoon
* Fine-tune stylesheets to work more efficiently and deliver exactly the output you are looking for
* Harness the power of the XSLT extensions available with MSXML, Saxon, and Xalan

Synopsis
Authoritative coverage of "bleeding-edge" Web and e-commerce technologies, kept continually up to date with "Unlimited Edition" revisions and articles on the Web
Developers can use XPath to locate and process items in an XML document, and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) to translate and transfer items from one XML document into another. With coverage of specific XSLT processors, Web and PDF publishing, and advanced techniques like grouping -- plus bonus chapters on the Web -- this up-to-the-minute guide shows developers how to make these languages work together in efficient B2B applications.
