Appending XSLT to XML
by Schimon Jehudah June 19, 2025

Greetings! I would want to know whether there is a function to append XSLT stylesheet to XML files. I have resorted to converting XML data to string, in order to append a reference to an XSLT styleshett. See https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Rivista/src/branch/main/rivista/xml/xslt.py Please advise. Kind regards, Schimon

ElementTree function insert() to accept negative value.

Greetings. This code: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET e_feed = ET.Element("feed") e_feed.set("xmlns", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom") xslt_reference = ET.ProcessingInstruction( "xml-stylesheet", "type=\"text/xml\" href=\"stylesheet.xsl\"") e_feed.insert(0, xslt_reference) Would yield this result: <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="stylesheet.xsl"?> </feed> Would it be sensible to allow a negative value: e_feed.insert(-1, xslt_reference) So that the result be: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="stylesheet.xsl"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> </feed> Regards, Schimon
