XmlTransform()

Applies an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) to an XML document object that is represented as a string variable.

An XSLT converts an XML document to another format or representation by applying an Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) stylesheet to it.

XmlTransform( xml=any, xsl=string, parameters=struct );

Returns: String
