INSTALLATION

You need to unzip rdoc-template in the parent directory if you want to generate the documentation

        ruby extconf.rb # see CONFIGURATION for more options
        make
        make test
        make doc
        sudo make install

CONFIGURATION

  --help                   display this help and exit

  --with-xslt-lib=PATH
  --with-xslt-include=PATH
  --with-xslt-dir=PATH     specify the directory name for the libxslt include
                           files and/or library

  --enable-error-handler   enables a VERY crude error handler. Error messages
                           are appended to the class variable XML::XSLT and can
                           be accessed with the class method XML::XSLT.errors
                           (will change in a future version)
  --disable-exslt          disables libexslt support <http://exslt.org/>

  --enable-debug           compile with memwatch

EXAMPLES

Simple example

        require 'xml/xslt'

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
        xslt.xml = "text.xml"
        xslt.xsl = "test.xsl"

        out = xslt.serve()
        print out;

REXML support

        require 'rexml/document'
        require 'xml/xslt'

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()

        xslt.xml = REXML::Document.new File.open( "test.xml" )
        xslt.xsl = REXML::Document.new File.open( "test.xsl" )

        out = xslt.serve()
        print out;

XML::Smart support

        require 'xml/smart'
        require 'xml/xslt'

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()

        xslt.xml = XML::Smart.open( "test.xml" )
        xslt.xsl = XML::Smart.open( "test.xsl" )

        out = xslt.serve()
        print out;

Parameters support

        require "xml/xslt"

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
        xslt.xsl = "parameter.xsl"
        xslt.xml = "test.xml"
        xslt.parameters = { "p1" => "the first parameter ...",
                            "p2" => "'and the second one!'" }
        xslt.save("test1.html")

        xslt.parameters = { "p1" => "Ruby...",
                            "p2" => "'...is cool !'" }
        xslt.save("test2.html")

External functions support

        require "xml/xslt"

        class XML::XSLT
          def round_trip( arg )
            arg
          end
          def type( arg )
            arg.class.to_s
          end
        end

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
        xslt.xsl = "functions.xsl"
        xslt.xml = "test.xml"
        XML::XSLT.extFunction("round-trip", "http://test.none", xslt)
        XML::XSLT.extFunction("type", "http://test.none", xslt)

        print xslt.serve
