WXT Web and Xml Tool WXT handles tasks that involves XML-files in general, and it has some special features that are directed towards XHTML.

WXT can assist when you:

• build and maintain websites based on XHTML.
• merge and/or split XML-files and transform them on the way to produce documents of allmost any kind.
• combine the two tasks and build XHTML-pages and sites from any wellformed XML-rawmaterial.
• want to use databses as a datasource for any of the above tasks.

WXT is based on a few main principles:

• It does not introduce any hidden or proprietary formats or files. You may at any time supplement WXT with other tools or abandon WXT completely.
• It invites you to separate content, style and structure.
• It is based on a script that competely defines a job, small or big. There is a GUI to monitor scripts and jobs, but WXT works as well from the command line.
• You may use your editor of choice to prepare material, as long as it is wellformed XML.

WXT does not mess things up for you since:

• It never deletes any files
• It never change the content of other files than those you ask it to build.

You should have som basic knowledge of XML before you start using WXT. At least you should be able to write well-formed XML.

The functionality relies on XPATH-expressions. In most cases these are rather simple and available almost on an intuitive basis.

You may supply XSLT-transformations at different stages in a job, if your tasks demands this.
