XSLT is an essential tool for converting XML into other kinds of documents:
HTML, PDF file, and many others. It's a critical technology for XML-based platforms
such as Microsoft .NET, Sun Microsystems' Sun One, as well as for most web browsers
and authoring tools. As useful as XSLT is, however, most people have a difficult
time getting used to its peculiar characteristics. The ability to use advanced
techniques depends on a clear and exact understanding of how XSLT templates
work and interact.
The XSLT 1.0 Pocket Reference from O'Reilly wants to make sure you achieve
that level of understanding. With its concise approach, this handy pocket guide
quickly gets you up to speed on XSLT 1.0 so you can covert XML like a seasoned
pro. In addition to covering the basics of stylesheet structure, it also explains
how to:
- use template rules
- create a result tree
- apply conditional processing
- transform multiple source documents
- employ number formatting
Thanks to their convenient, quick-reference format, O'Reilly's Pocket References
spare you from having to hunt through larger books for answers. They deliver
just what you need to get the job done in a timely fashion. And the XSLT
1.0 Pocket Reference is no different--it's the ideal companion to have at
your desk when you need an answer fast.
