Getting Started with XSL templates

Getting started with XSL templates:

Tinker with the PERSON.XML and PERSON-TEMPLATE.XSL (linked above) to see the types of things XSL can do
Create a template based on PASSTHROUGH.XSL (linked above)
- Get your stakeholders to decide what you'll require from your portfolio users (matrix? forms?)
- Get your stakeholders to decide on a resulting layout (oswd.org is a great resource for designs)
- Create a nascent TEMPLATE inside OSP based on PASSTHROUGH.XSL (linked above):
  - Step 1 -- give the template a name
  - Step 2 -- use PASSTHROUGH.XSL as your XSL stylesheet (you'll replace this later with the XSL you create!)
  - Step 3 -- specify what ingredients your users can add (matrix, image, certain form, etc)
  - Step 4 -- attach other files (branding css, school/department logo, etc)
- Now build a portfolio based on that template
- View it in your browser -- it's just XML so it'll look poopy -- and download the source
- Add to your XML, pointing to the XSL you're going to develop
- As you tweak your XSL just refresh your browser's view of the XML
- Once your XSL doesn't suck, upload it and change STEP 2 above to point to your XSL!
