The Implementation Details You Need

XSLT s capabilities and uses are so extensive that many books get bogged down in the complex W3C specification and provide little in the way of practical, real-world instruction. Mastering XSLT is a fundamentally different kind of book.

It s the most effective way to get what you need out of XSLT, whether your application is simple or complex, conventional or ground-breaking.
