<para>This sample program demonstrates the use of XML templates:</para>

<itemizedlist mark="bullet">
  <listitem>Use the XS_U_3 SQL script
  to create a Web virtual directory that allows execution of the XML template.
  </listitem>
  <listitem>Create a form that allows new records to be inserted into
  a table.</listitem>
  <listitem>Use the form text fields as input parameters for the XML
  template.</listitem>
  <listitem>The XML template (shippers.xml) will
  insert a new record using the form parameters. It makes an XML document using
  SQL/XML query, and renders it with an XML-T style sheet.</listitem>
