Need an advice about XSLT

["Olivier Martineau" <alcatel-crc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody, 
I'm new in this list, and also in the world
of XML. I've got a project which is to transform
XMLnews documents (a particular XML dtd which
is dedicated to the world of news).
I have to write an application which will
adapt a XMSnews document to a HTML parser, or
a WML parser (it is an equivalent to HTML but
for wireless devices such as mobile phones).
Since there are numerous devices with different
specifications (e.g. screen resolution), my
application will let me enter some parameters
in order to transform the XML doc into a WML
or HTML doc which will fit the best to the
device particular specifications.

My doubt comes about XSLT. For what I understood, I should use an XSL stylesheet
which would include XSLT instructions that
would transform my XML doc into an HTML or
WML doc. But I read also that XSLT was used
to transform the structure of an XML document
into another XML document.
Does the key reside in the fact that an HTML
or WML document is just an XML document with a
particular dtd ?
Do I need to create as many XSLT sheets as
there are different devices ?

I'm so new to XML, I read a lot of documents, 
but I feel still confused, so if you can
bring me some advice, I would be grateful.
Thanks!
