Nice!
While it’s good to see resources and so much interest in XSL (check out all the comments), the author is giving a procedural usage, using for-each, when really the declarative (matching on xpath etc) is what XSL it all about.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the author did that intentionally, to make it an easy intro to the language.
Nice to see such a big and positive response. Although they’re suggesting bad programming style: A few template match
es would have have been much cleaner. :-)
Edit: Whops, ashooner I just read you mentioned that as well. Clearly I should start reading forum posts more thoroughly. Sorry for stealing your show there.

Exactly what I was thinking :-)
Clearly we’re all a bunch of xslt snobs.

lol, that’s ok.
Great article. Also, thanks to the Symphonians who posted a comment about Symphony CMS on the article!
For the XSLT snobs – to get even more snobbish and technical, XSL(T)
should really just be written as XSLT
. XSL is a short-hand for XSL-FO and has little to do with XSLT.
Cool! It will certainly worth 25 minutes :) And I look forward to seeing you xslt snobs write more tutorials :P

A tutorial on XSLT has just popped up over at nettuts.
Good for newbies and seasoned developers alike until we get more Symphony/XSL tutorials under way.
