XSLT can transform your XML documents

One of the things I like best about XML is how you can use it for so many different things. But when I first started using it, I would create one XML document and then when I needed another with similar content (but different XML elements) I would just write a new XML document. When I finally figured out about XSLT I was ecstatic. XSLT lets you take a set of data in an XML document and convert it into another XML document. I have used it for converting articles from a CMS into HTML (XHTML, actually) and for converting an RSS feed into a website. And Darla has a multi-page XSLT Tutorial where you’ll learn the basics of XSLT, how to set up an XSLT output stream, how to use the value-of element, and much more. You’ll be impressed with how useful XSLT is!
