"In response to a user recently, I told him he had fallen into the most common elephant trap for XSLT users. Rather than being annoyed, which I half expected, he thanked me and asked me if I could tell him what the next most common elephant traps were. Although some of us have been helping users avoid these traps for many years, I don't recall seeing a list of them, so I thought I would spend half an hour compiling my own list. "

"You can set an HTTP proxy for the XSLT document() function to use (as well as DTD external references) by setting http_proxy in the environment."

"xml2json.xslt is a XSLT 1.0 stylesheet to transform arbitrary XML to JSON."

"After discussing the idea of an expanded attribute for outline elements, I got a key new piece of information -- in some applications there is no distinction between a file format and an application's internal data structures."

Bookmarked, if only for the insanity of another RFC 822 date munger in XSLT

"two new PIs are implemented in Firefox 2 (see Supported versions below for details), and ."

"This page covers how to convert a list of space separated values into separate elements. "

"XSLT has always amazed me. And to see that it can be used to scrape Ficlets.com -- which indeed was intentionally designed to enable its web pages to be an API -- makes me realize that XSLT could become an incredibly valuable tool in the Web's future."

"where publishers include an XSLT declaration - especially where that XSLT is superior to Firefox 2’s own - they should pass it through. (Same goes for IE7.)"

"One of the latest features added to the XSLT extension is the ability to call any PHP function from within an XSLT stylesheet. While XML/XSLT purists will certainly dislike this.., it can be very useful in some special cases."

A disturbing lot of WONTFIX, head-patting "Firefox knows what's good for you" responses to the issue of Firefox overriding a site author's client-side XSL attached to RSS feeds.

"Considering how useful it could be to transform the XHTML based web to another format or to use XHTML as an XML data store, it is surprisingly tricky to transform XHTML. Most XSLT developers need to be told the secrets of XHTML transformation in order to

I know it's an XML transformation language, but it could use some beefier string manipulation

"With just these few commands (an admittedly small subset of XSLT) and a strong background in HTML (DHTML and JavaScript included), I believe web developers could meet the majority of their presentation needs."

"During all this recent excitement about using hAtom to generate feeds, I’d forgotten that I wrote about the concept nearly three years ago when I was getting ready to talk about syndication at Seybold SF."

A sudden confluence of XSLT stuff

"An XSLT 1.0 stylesheet that can transform any XML file into JSON. You can use the stylesheet along with a server-based XSLT transform tool, such as eBay's XSLT server that works with the REST API. You could also use it with client-side tool, if you are i

"UNIX pipes for the most part line-oriented, they have not been readily applicable to XML processing. You'll review some existing tools that result from the many attempts to address this."

"J Nathan Mattias shows how to use XSLT stylesheets to view Tinderbox documents right in your web browser."

As a result in analogy to XML/XSLT the combination JSON/JSONT can be used to transform JSON data into any other format by applying a specific set of rules.

"Just like for XHTML, document.write is not supported during XSLT transformations. Sadly, current builds don't error, but just give unexpected results, like crashes."

"Let the scraping begin..."

"With XSLT support fast becoming a commonly available component in the browser, web developers can now leverage transformations to manipulate large amounts of data in the browser at speeds acceptable for more advanced user interfaces."

"If you mean what I think -- e.g., rendering XSL -- I think WSGI is ripe for this sort of thing." You think so? :)
