# Transform XML Files

CFS can transform XML files before attempting to parse them. XSL transformations are configured in the `[XmlTransformation]` section of the CFS configuration file.

To run a single transformation, you can specify the settings in the `[XmlTransformation]` section:

    [XmlTransformation]
    ValidationSchema=schema.xsd
    TransformationStylesheet=transform.xslt

In this example, CFS uses the stylesheet `transform.xslt` to transform any XML file that matches `schema.xsd`.

If you are processing XML files that have more than one schema, you might want to configure several transformations. To do this, use the `Sections` parameter to specify the names of sections that configure the transformations:

    [XmlTransformation]
    Sections=XmlTransform1,XmlTransform2

    [XmlTransform1]
    ValidationSchema=schema1.xsd
    TransformationStylesheet=transform1.xslt

    [XmlTransform2]
    TransformationStylesheet=transform2.xslt

In this example, any XML file that matches `schema1.xsd` is transformed by `transform1.xslt`. These files are then parsed. The parameter `ValidationSchema` is not set in the section `XmlTransform2`, so any files that do not match `schema1.xsd` are transformed by `transform2.xslt`.

You can configure as many different transformations as you require. If you set the parameter `ValidationSchema` in every section and an XML file does not match any of the schemas, it is not transformed.
