XSLT: W3C Recommendation

• XML vocabulary
• Rules for transforming one XML vocabulary into something else:
  • HTML
  • high-quality printing (XSL formatting objects)
  • plain text
  • some other XML vocabulary
• Side-effect-free functional language
• XSLT is powerful enabling technology:
  • Variant presentations (different devices, languages, personalization)
  • Data vocabulary matching and mapping
  • Code generation
  • Turn complex algorithms inside out
