That surprised me given it can be used in a variety of contexts (I’m still discovering that though). I’m not talking about XSLT editing functionality. nXMl-mode seems to do a pretty good job on XML documents (XSLT is XML based). I’m talking about a library that can transform XML file according to an XSLT stylesheet. The only support I’ve seen so far is by using the very old `xslt-process' package and it’s using Java libraries. Would it be worth the effort to make an XSLT processor in Emacs Lisp? -- Etienne ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Have you tried libxslt and its xsltproc tool? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Since we had a built-in XML processor, I thought including an XSLT processor would be beneficial (while not excluding supporting libxslt).

And we do use libxml2 for supporting various features. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I meant the _xml.el_ library. I didn’t take a look at the current use of libxml2, but I assumed that _xml.el_ was mostly the parser used. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Ah, okay. But isn't the implementation ion xml.c based on libxml2 faster? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
