XSLT 2.0

[carolynherlin]

Does anyone know if I can use an XSLT 2.0 engine in Arbortext Editor . I'm using Arbortext Editor 5.2, M050. If so, how I should replace/config the system.



Thanks,

The reason I ask about XSLT 2.0 is that I need to export text documents from my Arbortext document and I'm doing this using XSL. I've got my XSL so that it outputs the content in the format I want, but I need it to break the content up into multiple text documents and instead I'm getting it all in one text document.



My understanding is that I could do this using <xsl:result-document> but this seems to be available only in XSLT 2.0, not 1.0.



Can anyone give me a suggestion for how I can get multiple text documents (one for each instances of a certain element) out of my XML document using XSL?



Thanks,

You should be able to use the EXLT extension set with 1.0 to get the result document setup you're looking for. Try this link as a start.

I believe that 5.2 included a reasonably recent version of Saxon 6, which
claimed to support most of EXSLT, though it doesn't specifically list the
"document" extension element.

It does support xsl:document, which is only available if you mark your
style sheet as being XSLT 1.1, though that's probably best avoided, as XSLT
1.1 never saw the light of day, having been abandoned for XSLT 2.0.
Instead, you can use saxonutput, which has basically identical
attributes and behavior to xsl:document and, I suspect, pretty close to the
EXSLT version.

All that said, one problem I've run into with generating multiple result
documents with various XSLT engines has to do with how the engine is used
by the application running it. Any sort of output-oriented capabilities of
the engine require that the engine itself handles writing the results to
disk. If the application calling it (Editor, in this case) just has the
engine do an in-memory transformation and handles writing the results to
disk itself, the features supported by the engine may not be available. I
don't recall if this is an issue with Editor and may depend on how you are
invoking the transform.

Let us know how it goes...
