14.7. Transforming XML Content

XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) is an XML-based language for creating stylesheets. Stylesheets (also known as transforms) are special documents that can be used (with the help of an XSLT processor) to convert your XML documents into other documents. For example, you can use an XSLT stylesheet to transform one type of XML to a different XML structure. Or you could use a stylesheet to convert your data-only XML into another text-based document such as an HTML page, as you'll see with the next example.
