Need help converting HTML documents to PDF? This reference guide shows by example how to use XSLT templates to convert 45 commonly used HTML elements to formatting objects (from the XSL-FO vocabulary) for easy transformation to PDF using XSLT.
XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. XPath is a major element in W3C's XSLT standard - and XQuery and XPointer are both built on XPath expressions.
In his latest Transforming XML column Bob DuCharme begins a multipart exploration of some of the features of the forthcoming XSLT 2.0 release. In this column DuCharme discusses the new support for tokenizing strings.
The eXtensible Text Framework (XTF) is a powerful open source platform for providing access to digital content. Developed and maintained by the California Digital Library (CDL), XTF functions as the primary access technology for the CDL’s digital collections and other digital projects worldwide.
XTF consists of Java and XSLT 2.0 code that indexes, queries, and displays digital objects
Carrot is not the first XSLT-inspired project to provide a shorter syntax than XSLT itself. Syntax shorthands have included Paul Tchistopolskii's XSLScript, Sam Wilmott's RXSLT, and another project called XSLTXT. Although none of these projects provided direct inspiration for Carrot, they all address one of the same desires that Carrot addresses: being able to program in XSLT more concisely
The libferris virtual filesystem presents both files and their metadata as a virtual filesystem. The boundaries of what is considered a filesystem by libferris include such interesting data sources as PostgreSQL, LDAP and Firefox as well as standard Web items, such as HTTP, FTP and RDF.

XWeaver is a tool for aspect oriented programming for C/C++ and Java applications. The weaving process is especially designed to be compatible with the needs of applications that, like on-board applications, must undergo a qualification process. The XWeav
The FOP bridge plugin provides eclipse users the ability to convert FO documents into any one of the formats supported by Apache FOP directly from the workbench. Furthermore, conversion can be integrated into the Eclipse build-cycle. These capabilities are very useful for rapid prototyping.
A collection of 24 free tutorial books by Herong Yang on latest programming technologies. Tutorials in all books are based on Herong's personal experience and ideal for developers to learn new programming technologies.
XRay is a free XML editing enviroment. Now in its second major release, XRay provides support for XML Schema (XSD) and an integrated online XML tutorial system.
"NiceXSL defines a conventional textual representation of XSL that is more amenable to conventional editing. XML overheads are much reduced and abbreviated syntaxes are provided for all XSLT 2.0 constructs."
<oXygen/> is a complete cross platform XML editor providing the tools for XML authoring, XML conversion, XML Schema, DTD, Relax NG and Schematron development, XPath, XSLT, XQuery debugging, SOAP and WSDL testing. The integration with the XML document repositories is made through the WebDAV, Subversion and S/FTP protocols. <oXygen/> also supports browsing, managing and querying native XML and relational databases. The <oXygen/> XML editor is also available as an Eclipse IDE plugin, bringing unique XML development features to this widely used Java IDE.
AtomicWiki is entirely based on the Atom Publishing Protocol and syndication format. All entries are stored as Atom feeds. The Atom Publishing Protocol is used to create and manipulate feeds and entries. The entire system is implemented in XQuery and XSLT with the help of some Javascript for the AJAX goodies (like in-page comment editing). What makes the software really powerful is its tight integration with XQuery and XML databases. Macros and extensions to the wiki syntax are implemented as XQuery functions. XQuery code can also be directly embedded into an Atom entry to generate dynamic content. The eXist weblog is powered by AtomicWiki.
The type-aware and schema-aware features of XSLT 2.0 can greatly assist you when you debug a stylesheet, and improve stylesheet quality and robustness in handling all input data. Learn how to use type-aware and schema-aware XSLT 2.0 during the debugging and testing process to avoid common issues with invalid paths, incorrect assumptions about data types, and cardinalities. Also, find examples of XSLT stylesheets that contain errors that would not be caught if schema-aware features were not in use, and discover how explicitly specifying types results in useful error messages.
EPUB 3.0, which is the latest revision of the industry-standard XML e-book format, jumps into modern web technology by embracing HTML5 and CSS3. It retains its focus on XML-driven toolkits by requiring XHTML serialization and adding supplementary XML vocabularies, such as MathML and SVG. EPUB 3 offers a variety of options for developing advanced, digital-native publications. In this article, learn to create rich-layout pages using some new features in EPUB 3.
YAPP XSLT is a lexical scanner and recursive descent parser generator, implemented in XSLT. No language extensions or non-standard features are used apart from the nodeset() function. Grammars are expressed in XML form and transformed by the generator stylesheet into another XSLT. A lexical scanner may also be generated from the same grammar.
An XSLT stylesheet is an XML document. The root element is <xsl:stylesheet> and the elements inside the root are primarily <xsl:template> elements. When you apply an XSLT stylesheet to an XML document (such as by running it through the <oXygen/> debugger), the stylesheet finds the document node in the XML (above the root element; every XML document has one) and looks for a template rule to process it. It then follows the instructions it receives inside that template rule, which may involve generating output, applying template rules to other elements, etc. When it runs out of things to do, it ends.
XSLT is a declarative language, which means that the template rules describe what happens if and when an element of a particular type happens to float past. The programming languages you may have used in the past are likely to have been procedural languages, which describe what to do in order. The XSLT paradigm is very different. For example, the order of the template rules in your stylesheet doesn’t matter because the rules don’t apply in any particular order; they just fire whenever the element to which they apply happens to show up. Elements "show up" most often when they’re summoned by an <xsl:apply-templates/> element inside another template.

This article will show that the Eclipse platform is a viable platform for technical publishing by discussing how to write documents such as an article or a book within Eclipse.
UTF-X is a unit testing framework for XSLT. UTF-X strongly supports the test-first-design principle with test rendition and test validation features allowing you to visually design your test before you start working on the stylesheet. UTF-X was originally built to test XSLT stylesheets used in an XML publishing system so it has good support for DTD validation, XHTML and XSL:FO stylesheets.
