Forget those funky robot toys that are all the rage in the '80s, XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Transformation) is the main transformer. Each recipe breaks a specific problem into a set piece, giving you an easy-to-grasp roadmap for integrating XSLT with data and applications. In addition to offering code recipes for solving everyday problems with XSLT 1.0, this new edition shows you how to take advantage of improvements found in XSLT 2.0, such as how to simplify the string manipulation and date when the process / conversion. Even explores extension functions on a variety of different XSLT processors and shows ways to combine multiple documents using XSLT. Whether you are just starting out in XSLT or looking for advanced techniques, you will find the level of information you need in XSLT Cookbook, Second Edition.
