XSL

What we keep forgetting about XSL, XSL consists of

1. XSLT - XSL Transformations
2. XPATH - navigational language in XML
3, XSL:FO - XSL formatting object

XSLT is the most important part of XSL where it converts a source XML tree to a XML result tree.

XSLT uses XPATH

w3cschools, XSLT tutorial is a good reference to begin with.

< xsl:template > element contains the rules to apply when a specified node is matched
The match attribute is used to asssociate the template with the XML element, match = "/" matches the whole document.
