The overheads used in class and showing the use of XSLTs were the following:

• Transforming documents with XSLT stylesheets: intro
• Some more complex examples (adapted)

The particular XML document that are used as an example throughout the first intro is here (with DTD here).

The various stylesheets used in the overheads are the following (remember that these are XML files so that you may not just be able to look at them in the browser sensibly!):

• First try
• Extracting the speakers and turns
• Extracting the speakers and all their turns
• Extracting the lines of a particular speaker
• Extracting the lines of a particular speaker and the immediately preceding turn in the dialogue

An example HTML file created from the XML file of the example play according to the last stylesheet can be looked at here (use the back button on your browser to get back here!)

There are quite a few tutorials and more detailed discussions on the web; searching for XSLT and "introduction" or "tutorial" will bring in quite a few. Here's one that is quite good.
