What's next after learning XSLT?

XSLT Overview

This tutorial has explained how to use XSLT to convert XML documents to other formats, such as XHTML.

You have learned how to add elements and attributes to the output file, and remove elements and attributes from the output file.

You have also learned how to rearrange and sort elements, perform tests, and decide which elements to display or hide.

For more knowledge about XSLT, please refer to our XSLT Reference Manual.

After learning XSLT, what should you learn next?

XSL includes three languages: XSLT, XPath, and XSL-FO, so the next step should be to learn XPath and XSL-FO.

XPath

XPath is used for navigation within an XML document through elements and attributes.

XPath is a major element of the W3C's XSL standard. Understanding XPath is the foundation for deep XML usage.

Without knowledge of XPath, you cannot create XSLT documents.

If you want to learn more about XPath, please visit our XPath Tutorial.

XSL-FO

XSL-FO can describe the format of XML data that is output to the screen, paper media, or other media.

XSL-FO is an XML file that includes information about output layout and output content.

If you want to learn more about XSL-FO, please visit our XSL-FO Tutorial.
