13.1. Why use FrontPage with XML?

We've that XML allows us to represent information in a purely abstract way, separate from its presentation. In Chapter 4, "Creating and editing XML documents", on page 60 we learned how XSLT stylesheets can be used to transform abstract XML documents into WordML renditions so that they can be viewed, printed and edited as Word documents.

A more common transformation is from XML documents into HTML, to allow XML documents and data to be viewed on the Web. You can write such stylesheets by hand, as we did for WordML. For HTML output, though, FrontPage gives you a convenient alternative for many documents: a WYSIWYG editor that generates the XSLT for you.

Warning

The features of FrontPage described in this chapter are only available for websites that use Windows SharePoint Services. In order to run SharePoint, your Web server must run Windows 2003. FrontPage 2003 itself can run on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003.
