A typical XSLT processor will have (a) a command line interface, and (b) an
API. Some also have a GUI front-end, or can be invoked via GUI toolsets such
as Stylus Studio and XML Spy.
For example, if your chosen XSLT processor is Saxon, you can invoke it from
the command line using a command such as
java -jar saxon8.jar source.xml stylesheet.xsl >output.html
or you can use the JAXP API, which is also supported by other Java-based
XSLT processors; or you can just select "Saxon" as your chosen processor in
Stylus Studio or XML Spy and press the right buttons.
If you want to do the transformation in a browser, you can invoke it
automatically by using an <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction on the
XML page and just loading the XML into an XSLT-aware browser, or you can
invoke it explicitly using a (typically JavaScript) API from script in your
HTML page.
The details depend on which XSLT processor you choose.
