Given an XSL transformation file, performs the specified transformation on the input XML doc.

XSLT is designed for use as part of XSL, which is a stylesheet language for XML. In addition to XSLT, XSL includes an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting. XSL specifies the styling of an XML document by using XSLT to describe how the document is transformed into another XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary. (ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt)

Given an xml stream as input, XSLTTransformer is used for for linking (almost but not quite fitting) output port and input port data formats together. The actor produces an html stream that can be viewed or queried using the BrowserUI actor.

The configuration window for the XSLTTransformer actor can be viewed by double-clicking on the actor or by selecting 'Configure' from the right-click context menu. The window displays a GUI for browsing the XSL script which will be used to perform the transformation.
