User Contributed StylesheetsEAD and XSLT stylesheets go together like grilled pear, port and roquefort. Whenever you convert one flavo(u)r XML to another, or convert XML to another format entirely, the chances are that XSLT is going to be involved.
This page is aimed at establishing and maintaining a shared space of stylesheets created by our community. Your stylesheets can be complete, proof-of-concept, started-but-not-quite-finished, under development, whatever. Just send them to this site's maintainer.
eadprint-su.xsl 
XSLT
eadprint.css CSS
This is a style sheet that creates a stripped down "printer-friendly" HTML file - no links, no fancy colors, no TOC down the side but instead one at the beginning, minor changes to the order of some things, slightly smaller text so as to take up less pages, places any indexes at the end of the finding aid, etc. It forces one page break near the beginning so that every finding aid gets a "cover sheet" with the same information. It's a handy alternative to a PDF, for example. It goes with the eadprint.css and all font properties are set in the css, making it easy to change the appearance if desired. Note that users will want to change the logo callout on line 75 to that of their own institution.
ead2fo.xsl XSLT
This proof-of-concept XSLT 1.0 stylesheet can be used to create an XML document encoded according to the XSL Formatting Object (XSL:FO, or just FO) specification. A FO document instance is the format that almost all formatting object processors use to create PDF, RTF or other "for print" file formats.
ead2fo.xsl XSLT
This proof-of-concept XSLT 1.0 stylesheet, when applied to a valid EAD2002 instance document will attempt to (partially) create an XML instance dcoument encoded according tho the XML schema employed by Microsoft's Word 2003 word processor. Why would you want to do this? Well, why not? It's a step in the direction of being then able to edit your EAD in a standard word processor-- though, of course, you'll still need to get from WordML back to EAD...
