XSLT / XSL-FO : 
- XSL-FO : prédécesseur de XSLT (XSL:FO - XSL Formatting Objects)
- XSLT 1.0 : Nouvelle version de XSL. Dans les faits, beaucoup parleront de XSL pour désigner la norme XSLT.
XSL is a language for expressing style sheets. An XSL style sheet is, like with CSS, a file that describes how to display an XML document of a given type. XSL shares the functionality and is compatible with CSS2 (although it uses a different syntax). It also adds:
- A transformation language for XML documents: XSLT. Originally intended to perform complex styling operations, like the generation of tables of contents and indexes, it is now used as a general purpose XML processing language. XSLT is thus widely used for purposes other than XSL, like generating HTML web pages from XML data.
- Advanced styling features, expressed by an XML document type which defines a set of elements called Formatting Objects, and attributes (in part borrowed from CSS2 properties and adding more complex ones.
