W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply. Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) (xsl-20001018) ii Abstract XSL is a language for expressing stylesheets. It consists of two parts: 1. a language for transforming XML documents, and 2. an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics. An XSL stylesheet specifies the presentation of a class of XML documents by describing how an instance of the class is transformed into an XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary. Status of this document This is a W3C Working Draft for review by W3C members and other interested parties. This working draft incorporates the proposed resolution of the issues raised during Last Call. The Working Group intends to submit a revised version of this specification for publication as a Candidate Recommendation in the near future. We are issuing this interim public draft as it sets out a number of changes made in response to comments received on the Last Call draft. Items under consideration for change for Candidate Recommendation include the name of the font-height-override-before and font-height-override-after properties. Please send detailed comments to [email protected]; archives of the comments are available. More general public discussion of XSL takes place on the XSL-List mailing list. It is a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. The XSL Working Group will not allow early implementation to constrain its ability to make changes to this specification prior to final release. It is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than “work in progress”. A list of current W3C working drafts can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR. This document has been produced as part of the W3C Style Activity by the XSL Working Group (members only).

    SIGAda 2001 Workshop, “Creating a Symbiotic Relationship Between XML and Ada” Robert C. Leif Ada_Med, a Division of Newport Instruments 5648 Toyon Road, San Diego, CA 92115-1022, USA E-mail [email protected] www.newportinstruments.com www.Ada-Med.com +1 (619)582-0437 Abstract: The purpose of the workshop was to organize the Ada community to take advantage of the opportunity to create Ada applications that are operating systems independent because they are based on a web technology, XML, Extensible Markup Language. The commercial use of the Internet is the driving force behind XML. Four elements of XML, which together are sufficient to build a web application, and all employ the same syntax were described. These are XML; its schema; the Extensible Stylesheet Language, XSL; and the XML mechanism for forms, XForms. XML concerns the data objects that are included on the web page and their order of presentation. The schema contains the information on the types and objects for XML. Schemas are roughly equivalent to an Ada specification without the subprograms. Fortunately, the programing language that has the best fit with XML is Ada. XML has visibility and scoping rules, which are similar to Ada. XML has strong typing and has single inheritance similar to Ada. A mutually beneficial symbiosis requires the creation of applications in Ada that use and support XML, as well as, the use of XML to cre- ate Ada environments including XML based tools. These applications include: automated translation of Ada data types and objects in a specification to an XML schema; and conversely, automated translation of the data types and elements in an XML Schema to an Ada specification.

Centre-Ville Montréal, Québec Canada H3C 3J7 [email protected] http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lapalme/ForestInsteadOfTheTrees/ Publication date April 14, 2019 Abstract This tutorial gives a high-level overview of the main principles underlying some XML technologies: DTD, XML Schema, RELAX NG, Schematron, XPath, XSL stylesheets, Formatting Objects, DOM, SAX and StAX models of processing. They are presented from the point of view of the computer scientist, without the hype too often associated with them. We do not give a detailed description but we focus on the relations between the main ideas of XML and other computer language technologies. A single compact pretty-print example is used throughout the text to illustrate the processing of an XML structure with XML technologies or with Java programs. We also show how to create an XML document by programming in Java, in Ruby, in Python, in PHP, in E4X (Ecmascript for XML) and in Swift. The source code of the example XML ®les and the programs are available either at the companion web site of this document or by clicking on the ®le name within brackets at the start of the caption of each example.

  • XSLT in Context
    XSLT in Context This 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, and how it came to be that way; 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 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. I shall begin 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. The chapter then moves on to 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. Finally, I'll have a few things to say about 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.

  • XSL Formatting Objects Sebastian Rahtz March 2003
    XSL Formatting Objects Sebastian Rahtz March 2003 XSL Formatting Objects 1 Core principles of XSL FO ☛ Conceptual compatibility with DSSSL ☛ Compatibility with CSS properties ☛ Screen properties as well as print ☛ No compromises on internationalization ☛ Closely linked to XSLT transformation language It provides an abstract formatting language to describe pages. XSL Formatting Objects 2 The FO output tree The input is transformed into an output tree consisting of: ☛ page masters, which define named styles of page layout; and ☛ page sequences, which reference a named page layout and contain a flow of text. Within that flow, text is assigned to one of five (rectangular) regions (the page body, areas at the top, bottom, left and right) We also have allowance for floating objects (at the top of the page), and footnotes (at the bottom), and the model covers writing in left/right and/or top/bottom modes. XSL Formatting Objects 3 Inside regions and blocks Within a region of text, we find one or more ☛ blocks ☛ tables ☛ lists and ☛ floats and within a block, we find ☛ inline sequences ☛ characters ☛ links ☛ footnotes and ☛ graphics XSL Formatting Objects 4 Object properties ☛ aural properties ☛ borders, spacing and padding ☛ breaking ☛ colors ☛ font properties (family, size, shape, weight etc) ☛ hyphenation ☛ positioning ☛ special table properties ☛ special list properties BUT supporting all of them is not mandatory. XSL Formatting Objects 5 Simple example Take this bit of TEI input <p>The <gi>corr</gi> element marks <corr sic="a mistake">correction</corr></p> and transform it, as an interpretation of what the <corr> element is supposed to do, with the following XSLT template.
