A List of Available Articles about XSL-FO
Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Object (XSL-FO) provides a way to format XML data for screen views or printed material. An XSL-FO file combines the formatting information with the physical data in the core XML file. It marries the two together in a new file with a template and the actual data from the XML document. This allows an author to plan how a page looks, how the data will appear on the page and how this information will look in print.
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is an XML language the transforms XML into a different file. When you load an XML file to the Internet, it will appear as basic text to viewers. XML was originally meant to be a repository of information that designers could change easily. This made updating information a breeze. The challenge is to take that data and create something formatted for website presentation. XSLT will take the core data and present it in a viewable format. It ‘transforms’ the information found in the XML file to a markup language, such as HTML or XHTML.
About.com offers informational articles about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) that give you background as well as provide ideas on how to use the files. XML is a simplistic language that separates data from formatting to create manageable and dynamic websites.
