XSL is a [stylesheet] language that can be used for displaying [Extensible Markup Language(XML) ] documents. Using XSL is a two-step process, the first step being a transformation of the XML document using [Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations], and the second step being the rendering of the result of the transformation, which is done using [Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects]. 6, record 1, English, - Extensible%20Stylesheet%20Language
