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

Argument Description
xml
any, required

An XML document in string format, or an XML document object

A string containing XSL text

Alias: xslString, xslText

Unimplemented Argument(s)

A structure containing XSL template parameter name-value pairs to use in transforming the document.

The XSL transform defined in the xslString parameter uses these parameter values in processing the XML.
