Oxygen XML Author plugin 13.2.0

Transforming Documents | 301XSLT ProcessorsThis section explains how to configure an XSLT processor and extensions for such a processor in Oxygen XML Authorplugin .Supported XSLT ProcessorsOxygen XML Author plugin comes with the following XSLT processors:• Xalan 2.7.1 - Xalan-Java is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XMLdocument types. It implements XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 and XML Path Language (XPath) Version1.0.• Saxon 6.5.5 - Saxon 6.5.5 is an XSLT processor, which implements the Version 1.0 XSLT and XPath with a numberof powerful extensions. This version of Saxon also includes many of the new features that were first defined in theXSLT 1.1 working draft, but for conformance and portability reasons these are not available if the stylesheet headerspecifies version="1.0".• Saxon 9.3.0.5 Home Edition (HE), Professional Edition (PE) - Saxon-HE/PE implements the basic conformancelevel for XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0. The term basic XSLT 2.0 processor is defined in the draft XSLT 2.0 specifications:it is a conformance level that requires support for all features of the language other than those that involve schemaprocessing. The HE product remains open source, but removes some of the more advanced features that were presentin Saxon-PE.• Saxon 9.3.0.5 Enterprise Edition (EE) - Saxon EE is the schema-aware edition of Saxon and it is one of the built-inprocessors of Oxygen XML Author plugin . Saxon EE includes an XML Schema processor, and schema-awareXSLT, XQuery, and XPath processors.The validation in schema aware transformations is done according to the W3C XML Schema 1.0 specification oraccording to the W3C XML Schema 1.1 one. This can be configured in Preferences.Besides the above list Oxygen XML Author plugin supports the following processors:• Xsltproc (libxslt) - Libxslt is the XSLT C library developed for the Gnome project. Libxslt is based on libxml2the XML C library developed for the Gnome project. It also implements most of the EXSLT set of processor-portableextensions functions and some of Saxon's evaluate and expressions extensions. The libxml2 version included inOxygen XML Author plugin is 2.7.6 and the libxslt version is 1.1.26Oxygen XML Author plugin uses Libxslt through its command line tool (Xsltproc). The XSLT processor isincluded into the distribution kit of the stand-alone version for Windows and Mac OS X. Because there are differencesbetween different Linux distributions, on Linux you must install Libxslt on your machine as a separate applicationand set the PATH variable to contain the Xsltproc executable.If you do not have the Libxslt library already installed, you should copy the following files from Oxygen XMLAuthor plugin stand-alone installation directory to the root of the com.oxygenxml.editor_ 13.2.0 plugin:• on Windows: xsltproc.exe, zlib1.dll,libxslt.dll,libxml2.dll, libexslt.dll,iconv.dll• on Linux: xsltproc,libexslt.so.0, libxslt.so.1,libxsml2.so.2• on Mac OS X: xsltproc.mac, libexslt, libxslt, libxmlThe Xsltproc processor can be configured from the XSLTPROC options page.Caution: Known problem: file paths containing spaces are not handled correctly in the LIBXML processor.For example the built-in XML catalog files of the predefined document types (DocBook, TEI, DITA, etc)are not handled by LIBXML if Oxygen XML Author plugin is installed in the default location on Windows(C:\Program Files) because the built-in XML catalog files are stored in the frameworks subdirectory ofthe installation directory which in this case contains at least a space character.• MSXML 3.0/4.0 - MSXML 3.0/4.0 is available only on Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows XP platforms.It can be used for transformation .Oxygen XML Author plugin uses the Microsoft XML parser through its command line tool msxsl.exe.
