Extensible Style Language. A language used to create style sheets for XML, similar to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) that are used for HTML. In XML, content and presentation are separate.

Style sheets consist of formatting rules for how particular XML tags affect the display of a document on a computer screen or a printed page. In XML, different style sheets can be applied to the same data to hide or display different parts of a document for different users.
