- XML
- Abbreviation for "EXtensible Markup
Language". XML is a simplified version of
SGML
designed especially for Web documents developed by the W3C. It allows designers to create their own customized tags, enabling the definition,
transmission, validation, and interpretation of data between applications and between organizations.
- XSL
- Abbreviation for "EXtensible Style
Language", a specification for separating style from content when creating
HTML or XML
pages. The specifications work much like templates, allowing designers to apply single style documents to multiple pages.
XSL is the second style specification to be offered by the W3C. The first,
called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), is similar to XSL, but does not include two major XSL's innovations -- allowing
developers to dictate the way Web pages are printed, and specifications allowing one to transfer XML documents across
different applications. W3C released the first draft of XSL in August 1998, and promotes the specifications as helpful
to the Web's speed, accessibility, and maintenance.
