Information on XSL (Extensible Style Language)

XSL (Extensible Style Language) provides for the separation of style and content in XML pages. As well as allowing a web developer to specify how a page is displayed, XSL allows the developer to specify how the page is to be printed. The use of XSL allows an XML document whose tags specify the type of data (but nothing about how the data is to be displayed) to be displayed in the way that the designer intended without forcing the replacement of the original tags with style-oriented tags.
     XSL consists of two major parts: XSLT (XSL transformations) and XSL FO (XSL formatting objects).
