Re: [xslt] Using external resources

Hi,

Thanks Daniel for the informative response.

I've worked out a few more things about perlish LibXSLT. I think it 
might be possible to pass LibXML entities as xsl:params from perl, which 
would do what I need in terms of input. However, I also plan to use 
exslt:document to produce multiple output documents, and I'm pretty much 
certain that there isn't a standard perlish way to get hold of those 
output documents as LibXML entities, as EXSLT isn't mentioned at all in 
the documentation (although it does work).

I can't put my hand on it now, but I'm sure I saw an offer somewhere to 
look at customising LibXSLT, for a price. Who would I contact to explore 
the options, given that my particular concern centres on LibEXSLT? In a 
sentence, I think the project would consist of wrapping some C code 
around the standard LibXML/XSLT libraries to move the input and output 
XML around. I'm working on a first version in perl, but I think the 
XML-compiling overheads are going to be too high for production use, 
hence my interest in recycling LibXML entities produced by exsl:document.

All advice - on or off-list - most welcome.

Regards,

Mark Howe
