Also, I want to add in date transformation like in the example above
commented out.  How would I use both the TemplateTransformer and the
DateFormatTransformer,
Transformers are chained.  transformer="a,b,c"  (comma separated)
first a is applied then b and then c.

since I'm specifying the transformer on the entity
rather than the field it is used on?  I don't yet understand why the
transformer is entity-based rather than per-field.

A row is emitted by an entity and a field is one of the values in that
row.  A field declaration is optional because it can be implicit if it
is present in the schema. (But , for XPathEntityProcessor it is not )
..Moreover there is no component in DIH which  corresponds to a Field
where this can be attached
Hence , the transformers are declared on an entity


Thanks for your help, Noble.
