XSLT 1.0 Pocket Reference
XSLT is an essential tool for converting XML into other
kinds of documents: HTML, PDF file, and many others. It's a
critical technology for XML-based platforms such as
Microsoft .NET, Sun Microsystems' Sun One, as well as for
most web browsers and authoring tools. As useful as XSLT
is, however, most people have a difficult
time getting used
to its peculiar characteristics. The ability to use advanced
techniques depends on a clear and exact understanding of how
XSLT templates work and interact.
The XSLT 1.0 Pocket Reference from O'Reilly wants to make
sure you achieve that level of understanding. With its
concise approach, this handy pocket guide quickly gets you
up to speed on XSLT 1.0 so you can covert XML like a
seasoned pro. In addition to covering the basics of
stylesheet structure, it also explains how to:
use template rules
create a result tree
apply conditional processing
transform multiple source documents
employ number formatting
Thanks to their convenient, quick-reference format,
O'Reilly's Pocket References spare you from having to hunt
through larger books for answers. They deliver just what
you need to get the job done in a timely fashion. And the
XSLT 1.0 Pocket Reference is no different--it's the ideal
companion to have at your desk when you need an answer fast.
