W3C Recommends XSL 19

Posted by timothy from the wheels-grinding-slowly dept.
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The W3C upgraded XSL 1.0 to the status of a recomendation today, as they reported in a press release." From that release: "XSLT 1.0 makes it possible to significantly change the original structure of an XML document (automatic generation of tables of contents, cross-references, indexes, etc.), while XSL 1.0 makes complex document formatting possible through the use of formatting objects and properties."

    My (yep, me again) simplistic Docbook to HTML transformation took twenty lines. This converted H1-H6, P, LI, Tables, Images, Links, and em/i.

    Representing the game of life in XSLT sounds difficult. I'm not sure if the language is intended for that type of thing (as you say, it was intended to fit 80% of the tasks).

    I agree that DSSSL is much more elegant, but it's overkill.

    Incidentally, in what situation was the problem you were having?
