<h2><a name="Introducti">Introduction</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This document describes <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/">libxslt</a>, the
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt">XSLT</a> C library developped for the <a
|
|
href="http://www.gnome.org/">Gnome</a> project.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here are some key points about libxslt:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Libxslt is a C implementation</li>
|
|
<li>Libxslt is based on libxml for XML parsing, tree manipulation and XPath
|
|
support</li>
|
|
<li>It is written in plain C, making as few assumptions as possible, and
|
|
sticking closely to ANSI C/POSIX for easy embedding. Should works on
|
|
Linux/Unix/Windows.</li>
|
|
<li>This library is released under the <a
|
|
href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">GNU LGPL</a>. If you are
|
|
not happy with this, drop me a mail.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="Documentat">Documentation</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are some on-line resources about using libxml:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Check the <a href="html/libxslt-lib.html#LIBXSLT-LIB">API
|
|
documentation</a> automatically extracted from code comments (using <a
|
|
href="http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/gnome&dir=gtk-doc">gtk
|
|
doc</a>).</li>
|
|
<li>Look at the <a href="/messages/">mailing-list archive</a>.</li>
|
|
</ol>

<h2><a name="Reporting">Reporting bugs and getting help</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Well, bugs or missing features are always possible, and I will make a point
|
|
of fixing them in a timely fashion. The best way to report a bug is to use the
|
|
<a href="http://bugs.gnome.org/db/pa/lgnome-xml.html">Gnome bug tracking
|
|
database</a> (make sure to use the "libxslt" module name). I look at reports
|
|
there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug is still open.
|
|
Check the <a href="http://bugs.gnome.org/Reporting.html">instructions on
|
|
reporting bugs</a> and be sure to specify that the bug is for the package
|
|
libxslt.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is also a mailing-list <a
|
|
href="mailto:xml@rpmfind.net">xml@rpmfind.net</a> for libxml and libxslt, with
|
|
an <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/messages">on-line archive</a>. To subscribe to
|
|
this majordomo based list, send a mail message to <a
|
|
href="mailto:majordomo@rpmfind.net">majordomo@rpmfind.net</a> with "subscribe
|
|
xml" in the <strong>content</strong> of the message.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Alternatively, you can just send the bug to the <a
|
|
href="mailto:xml@rpmfind.net">xml@rpmfind.net</a> list, if it's really libxml
|
|
related I will approve it..</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Of course, bugs reports with a suggested patch for fixing them will
|
|
probably be processed faster.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're looking for help, a quick look at <a
|
|
href="http://xmlsoft.org/messages/#407">the list archive</a> may actually
|
|
provide the answer, I usually send source samples when answering libxml usage
|
|
questions. The <a href="html/libxslt-lib.html#LIBXSLT-LIB">auto-generated
|
|
documentation</a> is not as polished as I would like (I need to learn more
|
|
about Docbook), but it's a good starting point.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="help">How to help</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can help the project in various ways, the best thing to do first is to
|
|
subscribe to the mailing-list as explained before, check the <a
|
|
href="http://xmlsoft.org/messages/">archives </a>and the <a
|
|
href="http://bugs.gnome.org/db/pa/lgnome-xml.html">Gnome bug
|
|
database:</a>:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>provide patches when you find problems</li>
|
|
<li>provide the diffs when you port libxslt to a new platform. They may not
|
|
be integrated in all cases but help pinpointing portability problems
|
|
and</li>
|
|
<li>provice documentation fixes (either as patches to the code comments or
|
|
as HTML diffs).</li>
|
|
<li>provide new documentations pieces (translations, examples, etc ...)</li>
|
|
<li>Check the TODO file and try to close one of the items</li>
|
|
<li>take one of the points raised in the archive or the bug database and
|
|
provide a fix. <a href="mailto:Daniel.Veillard@w3.org">Get in touch with
|
|
me </a>before to avoid synchronization problems and check that the
|
|
suggested fix will fit in nicely :-)</li>
|
|
</ol>

|
|
<h2><a name="Downloads">Downloads</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The latest versions of libxslt can be found on <a
|
|
href="ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/libxml/">rpmfind.net</a> or on the <a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/MIRRORS.html">Gnome FTP server</a> either
|
|
as a <a href="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/libxml/">source
|
|
archive</a> or <a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/contrib/redhat/SRPMS/">RPM packages</a>.
|
|
(NOTE that you need both the <a
|
|
href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/libxml2.html">libxml2</a> and <a
|
|
href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/libxml2-devel.html">libxml2-devel</a>
|
|
packages installed to compile applications using libxml.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="Contribs">Contribs:</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I do accept external contributions, especially if compiling on another
|
|
platform, get in touch with me to upload the package. I will keep them in the
|
|
<a href="ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/libxml/contribs/">contrib directory</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Libxslt is also available from CVS:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>The <a
|
|
href="http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/gnome&dir=libxslt">Gnome
|
|
CVS base</a>. Check the <a
|
|
href="http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html">Gnome CVS Tools</a> page;
|
|
the CVS module is <b>libxslt</b>.</p>

for a really accurate description</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h3>0.0.1: Jan 25 2000</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>first alpha version released at the same time as libxml2-2.2.12</li>
|
|
<li>Framework in place, should work on simple examples, but far from being

feature complete</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The xsltproc command</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This program is the simplest way to use libxslt from the command line, it
|
|
takes as first argument the path or URL to an XSLT stylesheet. the next
|
|
arguments are filenames or URIs of the inputs to be processed. The output of
|
|
the processing is redirected on the standard output.</p>
