XSLT's capabilities and uses are so extensive that many books get bogged down in the complex W3C specification and provide little in the way of practical, real-world instruction. "Mastering XSLT" is a fundamentally different kind of book. Here you'll find quick, efficient introductions to the key concepts, written for people who know their XML, and then the really good stuff: detailed instructions that will help you meet your immediate document-transformation challenges and move on to new ones. It's the most effective way to get what you need out of XSLT, whether your application is simple or complex, conventional or ground-breaking. The coverage includes: understanding the XSLT data model; working with expressions; using variables and parameters in XSLT; using functions; managing output; using looping, iteration, and repetition; grouping and indexing; managing multiple documents; sorting and numbering; generating documentation and comments; using XSLT extensions; generating HTML; working with forms; outputting strings and special characters; and generating RTF and other non-XML markup.
