> i'm lost between XSL and XSLT Yes, it's very confusing. First there was XSL, which was conceived as a language to do styling (i.e. to define how an XML document should be rendered). Then XSLT was carved out as a separate sub-language to do the first part of styling, which is transformation. This was the first part to be implemented, so a lot of people used XSL and XSLT as near synonyms. Microsoft implemented a very early draft of XSLT, before it was called XSLT, so in Microsoft documentation XSL now means "the Microsoft 1998 dialect of XSLT"; but in the W3C standards world (and they invented the name) it means "a yet-to-be-completed standard that includes separate components for XML transformation and formatting".
