= Sample Course Outline: Embedding and Extending LibXSLT =

A detailed, hands-on technical introduction to embedding the LibXSLT XSLT processor in your own application and to implementing extension functions and elements for use with your embedded LibXSLT or as a plugin to xsltproc.

This course suits organisations getting started with using LibXSLT in their application.

By the end of the course, the participants will:

    * Understand how to use LibXSLT from within their program
    * Understand how to write extension functions for LibXSLT and `xsltproc`

The course includes a number of exercises based on your documents.
