FourThought LLC (http://FourThought.com) announces the release of
4XSLT and 4XPath 0.8.0
----------------------
A python implementation
of the W3C's XSLT language
4XSLT is an XML transformation processor based on the W3C's
specification
for the XSLT transform language. 4XPath implements the W3C XPath
language
for indicating and selecting XML document components.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt
4XPath implements the full 4XPath recommendation except for the 'lang'
core function.
Currently, 4XSLT supports a sub-set of the XSLT recommendation including
the following:
Full expression support and attribute-value template expansion
xsl:include xsl:import
xsl:template xsl:apply-imports
xsl:apply-templates xsl:copy
xsl:call-template xsl:if
xsl:for-each xsl:choose
xsl:element xsl:when
xsl:attribute xsl:otherwise
xsl:text xsl:message
xsl:value-of xsl:variable
xsl:processing-instruction xsl:param
xsl:comment xsl:with-param
xsl:strip-space xsl:key
xsl:preserve-space xsl:copy-of
xsl:output
and, of course, xsl:stylesheet, xsl:transform, literal elements and text
Using the xml output method, 4XSLT produces the result tree by throwing
events from the emerging SAX 2 standard to a handler, so it can be
easily
modified to supply results to any SAX 2 consumer. For the 'html' and
'text' output methods special SAX consumers produce HTML DOM nodes and
plain text respectively.
