Library: XML and parsing, XSLT support (OMXSLT) Import: omxslt.xmd

Return type: stylesheet Returns:  A compiled XSLT stylesheet.

Declaration

  export external stylesheet function compile value source stylesheet

Argument definitions

stylesheet

is the XSLT stylesheet to be compiled.

Use compile to generate a pre-compiled form of the XSLT stylesheet. In situations where a stylesheet will be used many times on multiple inputs, this will likely reduce processing time.

Usage Notes

It is typically not necessary to use compile, as OmniMark can automatically compile an XSLT stylesheet from source form to compiled form when the need arises. However, should the same transformation be required for multiple inputs, compiling the stylesheet should improve performance.

Example

          import "omxslt.xmd" prefixed by xslt.

          process
             local stream          filenames  initial { "input1.xml", "input2.xml" }
             local xslt.stylesheet stylesheet initial { xslt.compile file "stylesheet1.xsl" }

             repeat over filenames
                do xml-parse scan xslt.reader with stylesheet into file filenames
                   suppress
                done
             again

          element #implied
             suppress
