Description
|
One of the supporting cast of standards for XML, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) applies the formatting and transformation capabilities to the content that XML defines. In this comprehensive resource, Holzner, a recognized XML specialist, first covers prerequisite topics, then quickly gets to the meat of his subject. He sufficiently presents parse trees, nodes types, how to use XSLT with a programming language, and XML Path Language. Perhaps the most complex and ubiquitous portion of XSLT is the pattern matching capabilities, and the author, thankfully, spends several chapters explaining it. Holzner's only assumption here is that readers have some knowledge of XML and HTML. Highly recommended for libraries serving programmers. |
