What XSLT Does is “Transform”
Transform means change
- Reads XML documents and writes something else
- HTML for browsers
- a different XML tag set
- typesetting driver file (InDesign, QuarkXPress, FrameMaker)
- interchange file (RTF, RDF, EDI, etc.)
- a flat ASCII file (plain text, comma separated etc.)
- an XSL-FO document (input to formatting process)
