# XSL pipeline

### Description

The `XSL pipeline` action transforms XML documents into other documents (XML or other format, such as HTML or plain text) using Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations or [XSLT](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT).

The original document is not changed; rather, a new document is created based on the content of the XML file.
