XSL(T)

You can use an XSL stylesheet to transform an XML file into another format, such as HTML, more suitable for viewing.

This can be done

• ahead of time (not dynamically)
• by the server on the fly
• by your web browser on the fly (assuming the XSL file produces HTML readable by the browser)

Like CSS, it only produces a single file; however, it gives more flexibility than CSS in what it produces.

Often used with CSS for specific presentational effects not possible using only HTML.

<oXygen/> includes a sample XSL for TEI.
