Lesson 11: XSLT and XML
Jennifer Kyrnin
From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML
XSLT and XML together mean little without the link. You must create a line in each file to point out to the parser the relationship between them. This is what makes the XSLT file part of the total XML package. Without a linking statement, each file stands alone. You have already tackled the linking in your XSLT file via the declaration statement. When you write the XSLT statement, you identify the document as a formatting structure. The actual link between the data and the formatting is in the core XML document.

This is a summary of some of the vital components of the XSLT language. It will allow you to explore the vocabulary you need to know when creating an XML platform.
