Why is there an "S" in XSLT?To: <xml-dev@-----.---.---> Date: 5/19/2008 2:35:00 PM Hi Folks, The "S" in XSLT stands for "stylesheet." But in modern web design practices styling a document (i.e., adding text color, font-size, borders, and so forth) is accomplished using Cascading Stylesheets (CSS). The niche that XSLT occupies is the "T" part - transforming XML documents (i.e. tearing an XML document apart, rearranging its parts, merging parts, and some processing of the data). Shouldn't it really be called XLT (XML Language for Transformations)? /Roger | ||||||
