%SHORTDESCRIPTION%

---++ Introduction

The plugin is used to return HTML containing an XML data island which, when processed by the browser, will show the XSL applied to the XML.

Unlike the TWiki:Plugins.SablotronPlugin which does the transformation at the server, the !XmlXslPlugin does the transformation on the browser.

---++ Syntax Rules

This has one directives to invoke this plugin.

   * =%<nop>XMLXSLTRANSFORM{...}%=

| *Parameter* | *Comment* | *Default* |
| =xml= | xml source text |(none) |
| =xsl= | xsl source text |(none) |
| =css= | css source text |(none) |
| =id= | identifier (must begin with a letter) | =""= |

The xml source, xsl source, and css source parameters may be TWiki topic names or urls.
