## About GXML

GXML is a perl module for transforming XML. It may be put to a variety of tasks; in scope it is similar to XSL, but less ambitious. GXML is an outgrowth of gxml2html, my tool for converting web sites written in XML to HTML output. gxml2html is now "just another application" that uses the GXML engine to do its work.

## About gxml2html

gxml2html is a generic, template-based tool for converting XML to HTML. It determines how to render XML based on templates the web site designer creates. These templates are in standard XML syntax with HTML tags, they may use other templates within them, and they support variables which will be replaced with attributes from the document.

## Documentation

Documentation is mostly shared between GXML and gxml2html, but the intro pages to the User's Guides are independent. Both are available here:

- Read the gxml2html docs
- Read the GXML docs
