XSL - Extensible Stylesheet Language
XSL was developed by the W3C to meet the need for an XML-based stylesheet language. This need arose because (unlike HTML which uses predefined and well understood tags) XML tags are not predefined, and their meanings are not necessarily understood by a browser. XSL describes how an XML document should be displayed. It is actually an umbrella term for three component transformation languages: XSLT, XPath and XSL-FO.
