  <p>Metacat can be set on the fly to either transform or not transform a resultset
39 
  from XML.  This is achieved by setting the 'qformat' servlet parameter to 'html'
39 
  from XML.  This is achieved by setting the 'qformat' servlet parameter to the name
40 
  of a <a href="metacatread.html">style-set</a> or to 'html'
40 41 
  or 'xml'.  When qformat is set to html, Metacat will transform the resultset based
41 
  on the stylesheet specified in the resultStyleURL of the
42 
  <a href="./properties.html">Metacat Properties</a> file.  This XSL stylesheet
42 
  on the default style-set configured in the
43 
  <a href="./properties.html">Metacat Properties</a> file.  This style-set
43 44 
  defines the rules for how to translate the XML tags into HTML tags.

  <p>A user can specify that a certain doctype is always transformed using a
46 
  specific stylesheet by registering that stylesheet in the Metacat Catalog.
47 
  The Catalog is stored in the database table xml_catalog and contains a
48 
  list of doctypes and the stylesheets used to transform them.  If a doctype
49 
  has an assigned stylesheet, whenever a document of that type is "read" from
50 
  Metacat and qformat is set to HTML, the document will be transformed using
51 
  the assigned stylesheet.
