RE: some basic questions

["Reynolds, Gregg" <greynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jade does implement the query language; it's the transformation language
that is not supported.  However, Jade supports a number of very useful
extensions to the standard that make if a very powerful tool for
transformations anyway.  These extensions are only documented AFIK in
the documentation for Jade,  and that documentation tends to be
reference material, not tutorials.  SDQL is in chapter 10 of the
standard.  Also, note that Jade natively implements only a subset of the
query language; those SDQL functions it doesn't implement must be
implemented in DSSSL.  So if you get an error running a query function
it just means you have to code it yourself.  Fortunately sample code is
included in the standard.

DSSSL-Online is a subset of the style language.
