This course equips learners with the skills to design, apply, and transform XML documents using CSS and XSLT. Beginning with foundational style sheet concepts, the course introduces learners to CSS syntax, selectors, and how to link stylesheets to XML. It then progresses into the principles of XSL, covering templates, XPath, sorting, and pattern matching. Through progressively structured lessons, learners will build their ability to construct dynamic transformations, generate styled HTML output, and integrate CSS formatting with XSL logic. Emphasis is placed on hands-on examples that simulate real-world document styling and transformation scenarios.
