Fully customizable, handles huge files, no data privacy risk. Cons: Requires Python knowledge; you must map XML tags to RIS tags. 4. Using XSLT (For Structured Transformations) XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is designed to convert XML into other text-based formats, including RIS. You write a mapping stylesheet that tells the processor how to translate each XML element into an RIS tag.
