Description

XSL is a language for formatting XML documents. It consists of an XML vocabulary of formatting objects (XSL-FO) and a language for transforming XML documents into those formatting semantics (XSLT). An XSL stylesheet specifies the presentation of a class of XML documents by describing how an instance of the class is transformed into an XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary.
