Subject: Stylesheet vs. Transform From: "Mabry, F. DR EECS" <df6954@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 13:08:10 -0400 |
My students asked me last term about the use of alternate names of stylesheet and transform in XSLT. At the time (and without any research on suggestions from others) I offered the following guidance on when to use each: (1) When taking any XML material (from one or more XML sources) and developing a single web page (including a frameset) rendering (either as a response for a dynamic page) or as the HTM or HTML result to be stored for a static response, use the term "stylesheet" in XSLT. (2) When one or more XML sources are processed to compose (a) one or more XML versions of the information (for possible subsequent processing) or (b) a set of related and inter-referencing web pages use the term "transform" in XSLT. (3) If in (2) above specific styles of individual web pages are being generated by imported/included XSLT then the "stylesheet" form might be applied for each of the sub-references in the "transform" XSLT file. Any comments on this suggestion with respect to guidance in the use of the two words? Note: the suggestions above are not complete mapping onto the stylesheet/transform space.
