Chapter 2. Introduction to XML/XSL

IN THIS CHAPTER

The goal of this chapter is to walk you through the basics of XML and XSL. If you have never used XML or XSL before or know only a little bit about them, consider this your whirlwind course to get you on your feet.

One of the wonderful aspects of XML is its simplicity. It really doesn't take much to get up and running with XML. Therefore, this chapter is geared to race through the basics of XML. We will cover enough XML to enable you to use the rest of this book with confidence. After discussing XML, we will plunge into XSL. If you are already comfortable with XML, don't hesitate to skip ahead to the XSL section.
