XIST 2.3 has been released!
What is it?
===========
XIST is an XML-based extensible HTML generator written in Python.
XIST is also a DOM parser (built on top of SAX2) with a very simple
and Pythonesque tree API. Every XML element type corresponds to a
Python class, and these Python classes provide a conversion method
to transform the XML tree (e.g., into HTML). XIST can be considered
"object oriented XSL".
What's new in version 2.3?
==========================
* Namespace handling has been rewritten to be more standard
compliant (no more namespace prefixes for entity references
or processing instructions).
* Global attributes will now always generate the appropriate
xmlns attributes.
* Support for uTidylib has been added and arguments
can be passed to tidy now.
* The HTMLParser can handle global attributes now.
* When parsing from an URL the base URL will be correct now
even if the request gets redirected
(thanks to ll-url 0.11.6).
* Various other small bugfixes and enhancements.
