Task XML - Transform

The XML - Transform Task transforms a XML file to HTML using an XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language) file. You can also provide the XSLT parameter which will be replaced by its value dynamically. XSLT is an XML-based language used for the transformation of XML documents into other XML documents.

The original document is not changed; rather, a new document is created based on the code of an existing one. The new document can be output to HTML or plain text.
