What is this book about? XSLT 2.0Programmer's Reference, 3rd Edition,is the authoritative reference guide to the language. Without using the formal and inaccessible language of the W3C specifications, it tellsyou exactly what every construct in the language does, and how it is intended to be used. This book is a reference rather than a tutorial; it is designed for the professional programmer who is using the language every day. It is the book that people quote when they claim that a particular product is giving the wrong answer, and the book that implementers of the language turn to when they want clarification of the specifications. At the same time, the bookis readable. Reviews of the previous editions of the XSLT Programmers Reference, whichthis bookgrew from, show that readers appreciate the background material on the design thinking behind the language, the essay on functional programming, the occasional dry wit, the gentle criticism of the language specification when appropriate, and the fact that the examples stray into a diverse range of interesting application areas.

XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference
Chapter One
XSLT in ContextThis chapter is designed to put XSLT in context. It's about the purpose of XSLT and the task it was designed to perform. It's about what kind of language it is, how it came to be that way, and how it has changed in version 2.0; and it's about how XSLT fits in with all the other technologies that you are likely to use in a typical Web-based application. I won't be saying very much in this chapter about what an XSLT stylesheet actually looks like or how it works: that will come later, in Chapters 2 and 3.
The chapter starts by describing the task that XSLT is designed to perform-transformation-and why there is the need to transform XML documents. I'll then present a trivial example of a transformation in order to explain what this means in practice.
Next, I cover the different ways of using XSLT within the overall architecture of an application, in which there will inevitably be many other technologies and components, each playing their own part. We then discuss the relationship of XSLT to other standards in the growing XML family, to put its function into context and explain how it complements the other standards.
I'll describe what kind of language XSLT is, and delve a little into the history of how it came to be like that. If you're impatient you may want to skip the history and get on with using the language, but sooner or later you will ask "why on earth did they design it like that?" and at that stage I hope you will go back and read about the process by which XSLT came into being.
