This document discusses using XSLT to automatically generate documentation from a UML model. It explains that an UML model can be transformed into an XMI file, which is an XML file that can then be processed by XSLT stylesheets to generate documentation in formats like Word, Excel, and XML Schema. XSLT provides a way to automate the generation of over 300 documents in each of these formats from the single UML model in a fast and easy way.

7. Why XSLT?
300+ of eachWord, Excel, XML Schema
has to be automated
Fast development
Easy to generate
