Hello friends
I am a begginer in xml and xsl. I know that xsl is a stylesheet for xml documents like the way we have css for html. I wanna start from somewhere can anyone tell me what tools shall i install in order to make my xml files like for html we dreamweaver. Can anyone suggest me any tool which can help me making xml and xsl files. And can anyone tell me how shall i call xsl files into xml. Is it the same way the way we do it in html when we call css files. I need to start but i don't know how to start. I am totally lost . Your help will be appreciated. I know once i understand the basics i won't have any problems. So please help in making my base strong in xml and xslt. Thanks in advance
abhinav

hi abhinav,
first of all i wud like to clear out some of ur ideas,
1.xsl is not the same as css in html.
in fact we have css in xml also.
xslt-it is a technology by which u can transform an xml document into any other document u want to.for eg:u can transform xml document into html document.
css may be implemented on these for formatting as u do in html.
css is for formatting and xsl is for transforming the xml document to any other document.so keep it in mind that css and xsl r not same.fine.
as such,u need not require any tool if u r only interested in coding and not in checking the well formedness and validity of xml docs.u read the basics thoroughly u might understand the diff between well formedness and valid document.
but being a beginner,u shud understand these two,so for checking the validity and well formedness u have many tools like xmlspy,wattlesoftware.u can google for wattlesoftware and download it from the respective site.
coming to xml schemas .if u r very much interested in it,u go to xfront.com they have provided with 3 presentations,u can download it,it is of gr8 use.
these slides r of gr8 use for understanding schemas.
bye.
good luck.
