Questions tagged [xslt-2.0]

Use this tag for questions specific to XSL Transformations version 2.0 and no other version.

XSL Transformations version 2.0, the successor to XSLT 1.0. It introduces the following features:

  • xsl:function: user defined functions that can be invoked from within XPath expressions

  • XPath extension mechanism: a formal means of invoking methods written in other languages from within an XSLT expression

  • unparsed-text-available(): checking a URL to insure that it returns text content

  • unparsed-text(): loading non-XML content into an XSLT transformation

  • Sequences: collections of atomic data types or XML objects

  • Date/Time API: functions to manipulate date formats

  • Numeric iterations: expressions that facilitate loops without recursion

  • xsl:analyze-string: text processing of a string based on a regular expression

  • xsl:next-match: allows multiple template rules to be applied to the same source node

  • xsl:result-document: send output to a file or web service

  • xsl:for-each-group: allows nodes to be organized and referenced as a group

  • Inline control keywords: XQuery extensions for iterating and conditional statements in XPath

  • xsl:character-map: map entities to some output form, to replace disable-output-escaping

  • tunnel attribute: allows pass-through of a parameter to a nested template which depends on it

There are several standalone XSLT 2.0 processors, including:
