This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT, which is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.XSLT is designed for use as part of XSL, which is a stylesheet language for XML. In addition to XSLT, XSL includes an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting. XSL specifies the styling of an XML document by using XSLT to describe how the document is transformed into another XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary. XSLT is also designed to be used independently of XSL. However, XSLT is not intended as a

Now that we are successfully using XML to mark up our information according to our own vocabularies, we are taking control and responsibility for our information, instead of abdicating such control to product vendors. These vendors would rather lock our information into their proprietary schemes to keep us beholden to their solutions and technology.But the flexibility inherent in the power given to each of us to develop our own vocabularies, and for industry associations, e-commerce consortia, and the W3C to develop their own vocabularies, presents the

Cascading style sheets give you more control over the appearance and presentation of your pages. Using cascading style sheets, you can extend the ability to precisely specify the location and appearance of elements on a page and create special effects. You can specify individualized style sheets for specialized browsers and output devices. Another advantage of using cascading style sheets on your Web site is the ability to reuse them across multiple pages. And by using an external style sheet, you can quickly change all the styles on your site by

Not so long ago, font tags (which are evil) provided a web designer’s only means of formatting an HTML document’s text for presentation within web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer™, Opera™ or Mozilla Firefox. The trouble with font tags was that they were not only notoriously unreliable for presenting any given piece of information in the way initially intended by its author; they also bloated file sizes to almost insupportable proportions. In fact, even the text size setting of a browser could make a page’s content overlap or

Abstract This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 (CSS2). CSS2 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts, spacing, and aural cues) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS2 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance. CSS2 builds on CSS1 (see [CSS1]) and, with very few exceptions, all valid CSS1 style sheets are valid CSS2 style sheets. CSS2 supports media-specific style

Abstract "Ruby" are short runs of text alongside the base text, typically used in East Asian documents to indicate pronunciation or to provide a short annotation. This document proposes a set of CSS properties associated with the 'Ruby' elements. They can be used in combination with the Ruby elements of HTML [RUBY]. Status of This Document This specification is one of the "modules" for the upcoming CSS level 3 (CSS3) specification. It has been developed by the CSS Working Group which is part of the Style activity (see summary). It contains

XML is simply markup for data. That's it. XML is not a magic wand; it does not specify how data is transmitted over the wire, it does not specify how data is stored. XML simply determines the format of the data: what you do with the data is up to you. That said, the real power behind XML is not solely its ability to represent data: XML's real power lies in ancillary technologies that, when combined with XML, provide robust solutions, and XPath is one of those ancillary technologies. Version 1.0 of the XML Path Language became a World Wide Web

Abstract XPath is a language for addressing parts of an XML document, designed to be used by both XSLT and XPointer. Status of this document This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference from other documents. W3C's role in making the Recommendation is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread deployment. This enhances the

XPath is a language for finding information in an XML document. XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document.
