1.41 +
1.42 +
1.43 +<p>XSLTools is the name of an entire distribution of modules, packages, examples and documentation; it includes...</p>
1.44 +<ul>
1.45 + <li>The XSLForms
1.46 +framework for developing forms-based Web applications using XML and XSL stylesheets and transformations.</li>
1.47 + <li>The XSLOutput module for producing XML output from XML documents and XSL stylesheets.</li>
1.48 +</ul>
1.49 +<p>The relationship between these two technologies is summarised in the diagram below:</p>
1.50 +<table style="width: 80%; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">

1.63 + </tr>
1.64 + </tbody>
1.65 +</table>
1.66 +<p>XSLForms employs presentation templates which are converted to XSL
1.67 +stylesheets, permitting the framework to take advantage of that
1.68 +particular standardised and well-supported technology using XSLOutput
1.69 +and, in turn, libxslt.</p>
