Forget those funky robot toys that were all the rage in the '80s,
XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Transformations) is the ultimate
transformer. This powerful language is expert at transforming XML
documents into PDF files, HTML documents, JPEG files--virtually
anything your heart desires. As useful as XSLT is, though, most
people have a difficult time learning its many peculiarities. And
now Version 2.0, while elegant and powerful, has only added to the
confusion.
"XSLT Cookbook, Second Edition" wants to set the record
straight. It helps you sharpen your programming skills and overall
understanding of XSLT through a collection of detailed recipes.
Each recipe breaks down a specific problem into manageable chunks,
giving you an easy-to-grasp roadmap for integrating XSLT with your
data and applications. No other XSLT book around employs this
practical problem-solution-discussion format.
In addition to offering code recipes for solving everyday
problems with XSLT 1.0, this new edition shows you how to leverage
the improvements found in XSLT 2.0, such as how to simplify the
string manipulation and date/time conversion processes. The book
also covers XPath 2.0, a critical companion standard, as well as
topics ranging from basic transformations to complex sorting and
linking. It even explores extension functions on a variety of
different XSLT processors and shows ways to combine multiple
documents using XSLT. Code examples add a real-world dimension to
each technique.
Whether you're just starting out in XSLT or looking for
advanced techniques, you'll find the level of information you need
in "XSLT Cookbook, Second Edition,"
