XSLT itself is a an XML language to define transformation for XML. Libxslt is based on <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/">libxml2</a> the XML C library developed for the GNOME project. It also implements most of the <a href="http://www.exslt.org/">EXSLT</a> set of processor-portable extensions functions and some of Saxon's evaluate and expressions extensions.</p> <p>People can either embed the library in their application or use xsltproc the command line processing tool. This library is free software and can be reused in commercial applications (see the <a href="intro.html">intro</a>)</p> <p>External documents:</p> <ul> <li>John Fleck wrote <a href="tutorial/libxslttutorial.html">a tutorial for libxslt</a></li> <li><a href="xsltproc.html">xsltproc user manual</a></li> <li><a href="http://xmlsoft.org/">the libxml documentation</a></li> </ul> <p></p> <p>Logo designed by <a href="mailto:liyanage@access.ch">Marc Liyanage</a>.</p> <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 developed 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.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html">MIT Licence</a></li> <li>Though not designed primarily with performances in mind, libxslt seems to be a relatively fast processor.</li> </ul> <h2><a name="Documentat">Documentation</a></h2> <p>There are some on-line resources about using libxslt:</p> <ol> <li>Check the <a href="html/libxslt-lib.html#LIBXSLT-LIB">API documentation</a> automatically extracted from code comments (using the program apibuild.py, developed for libxml, together with the xsl script 'newapi.xsl' and the libxslt xsltproc program).</li> <li>Look at the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/">mailing-list archive</a>.</li> <li>Of course since libxslt is based on libxml, it's a good idea to at least read <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/">libxml description</a></li> </ol> <h2><a name="Reporting">Reporting bugs and getting help</a></h2> <p>If you need help with the XSLT language itself, here are a number of useful resources:</p> <ul> <li>I strongly suggest to subscribe to <a href="http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list">XSL-list</a>, check <a href="http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/">the XSL-list archives</a></li> <li>The <a href="http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/xslfaq.html">XSL FAQ</a>.</li> <li>The <a href="http://www.nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/xsl/xsl/slides.html">tutorial</a> written by Paul Grosso and Norman Walsh is a very good on-line introdution to the language.</li> <li>The <a href="http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Books/Book1/index.html">only Zvon XSLT tutorial</a> details a lot of constructs with examples.</li> <li><a href="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html">Jeni Tennison's XSLT</a> pages provide links to a lot of answers</li> <li>the <a href="http://incrementaldevelopment.com/xsltrick/">Gallery of XSLT Tricks</a> provides non-standard use case of XSLT</li> <li>And I suggest to buy Michael Kay "XSLT Programmer's Reference" book published by <a href="http://www.wrox.com/">Wrox</a> if you plan to work seriously with XSLT in the future.</li> </ul> <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://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libxslt">GNOME bug tracking database</a> (make sure to use the "libxslt" module name). Before filing a bug, check the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxslt">list of existing libxslt bugs</a> to make sure it hasn't already been filed. I look at reports there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug is still open. Be sure to specify that the bug is for the package libxslt.</p> <p>For small problems you can try to get help on IRC, the #xml channel on irc.gnome.org (port 6667) usually have a few person subscribed which may help (but there is no guarantee and if a real issue is raised it should go on the mailing-list for archival).</p> <p>There is also a mailing-list <a href="mailto:xslt@gnome.org">xslt@gnome.org</a> for libxslt, with an <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/">on-line archive</a>. To subscribe to this list, please visit the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xslt">associated Web</a> page and follow the instructions.</p> <p>Alternatively, you can just send the bug to the <a href="mailto:xslt@gnome.org">xslt@gnome.org</a> list, if it's really libxslt related I will approve it.. Please do not send me mail directly especially for portability problem, it makes things really harder to track and in some cases I'm not the best person to answer a given question, ask the list instead. <strong>Do not send code, I won't debug it</strong> (but patches are really appreciated!).</p> <p>Please note that with the current amount of virus and SPAM, sending mail to the list without being subscribed won't work. There is *far too many bounces* (in the order of a thousand a day !) I cannot approve them manually anymore. If your mail to the list bounced waiting for administrator approval, it is LOST ! Repost it and fix the problem triggering the error. Also please note that <span style="color: #FF0000; background-color: #FFFFFF">emails with a legal warning asking to not copy or redistribute freely the information they contain</span> are <strong>NOT</strong> acceptable for the mailing-list, such mail will as much as possible be discarded automatically, and are less likely to be answered if they made it to the list, <strong>DO NOT</strong> post to the list from an email address where such legal requirements are automatically added, get private paying support if you can't share information.</p> <p>Check the following too <span style="color: #E50000">before posting</span>:</p> <ul> <li><a href="search.php">use the search engine</a> to get information related to your problem.</li> <li>make sure you are <a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxslt/">using a recent version</a>, and that the problem still shows up in those</li> <li>check the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/">list archives</a> to see if the problem was reported already, in this case there is probably a fix available, similarly check the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxslt">registered open bugs</a></li> <li>make sure you can reproduce the bug with xsltproc, a very useful thing to do is run the transformation with -v argument and redirect the standard error to a file, then search in this file for the transformation logs just preceding the possible problem</li> <li>Please send the command showing the error as well as the input and stylesheet (as an attachment)</li> </ul> <p>Then send the bug with associated information to reproduce it to the <a href="mailto:xslt@gnome.org">xslt@gnome.org</a> list; if it's really libxslt related I will approve it. Please do not send mail to me directly, it makes things really hard to track and in some cases I am not the best person to answer a given question, ask on the list.</p> <p>To <span style="color: #E50000">be really clear about support</span>:</p> <ul> <li>Support or help <span style="color: #E50000">request MUST be sent to the list or on bugzilla</span> in case of problems, so that the Question and Answers can be shared publicly. Failing to do so carries the implicit message "I want free support but I don't want to share the benefits with others" and is not welcome. I will automatically Carbon-Copy the xslt@gnome.org mailing list for any technical reply made about libxml2 or libxslt.</li> <li>There is <span style="color: #E50000">no guarantee for support</span>, if your question remains unanswered after a week, repost it, making sure you gave all the detail needed and the information requested.</li> <li>Failing to provide information as requested or double checking first for prior feedback also carries the implicit message "the time of the library maintainers is less valuable than my time" and might not be welcome.</li> </ul> <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://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/">the list archive</a> may actually provide the answer, I usually send source samples when answering libxslt 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://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/">archives </a>and the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxslt">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.

There is a small shell script <code>xslt-config</code> which is installed as part of libxslt usual install process which provides those flags. Use</p> <p><code>xslt-config --cflags</code></p> <p>to get the compilation flags and</p> <p><code>xslt-config --libs</code></p> <p>to get the linker flags. Usually this is done directly from the Makefile as:</p> <p><code>CFLAGS=`xslt-config --cflags`</code></p> <p><code>LIBS=`xslt-config --libs`</code></p> <p>Note also that if you use the EXSLT extensions from the program then you should prepend <code>-lexslt</code> to the LIBS options</p> </li> <li><em>passing parameters on the xsltproc command line doesn't work</em> <p><em>xsltproc --param test alpha foo.xsl foo.xml</em></p> <p><em>the param does not get passed and ends up as ""</em></p> <p>In a nutshell do a double escaping at the shell prompt:</p> <p>xsltproc --param test "'alpha'" foo.xsl foo.xml</p> <p>i.e. the string value is surrounded by " and ' then terminated by ' and ". Libxslt interpret the parameter values as XPath expressions, so the string -><code>alpha</code><- is intepreted as the node set matching this string. You really want -><code>'alpha'</code><- to be passed to the processor. And to allow this you need to escape the quotes at the shell level using -><code>"'alpha'"</code><- .</p> <p>or use</p> <p>xsltproc --stringparam test alpha foo.xsl foo.xml</p> </li> <li><em>Is there C++ bindings ?</em> <p>Yes for example <a href="http://pmade.org/pjones/software/xmlwrapp/">xmlwrapp</a> , see <a href="python.html">the related pages about bindings</a></p> </li> </ol> <h2><a name="News">News</a></h2> <p>See the <a href="http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxslt/">git page</a> to get a description of the recent commits.</p> <p>Those are the public releases made:</p> <h3>1.1.27: Sep 12 2012</h3> <ul> <li> Portability:<br/> xincludestyle wasn't protected with LIBXML_XINCLUDE_ENABLED (Michael Bonfils),<br/> Portability fix for testThreads.c (IlyaS),<br/> FreeBSD portability fixes (Pedro F.
