Subject: [xsl] ANN: EXSLT website and mailing list From: Jeni Tennison <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 14:52:48 +0100 |
Hi, I'm pleased to announce that there is now an EXSLT website available at http://www.exslt.org/ and a mailing list for the initiative - see http://www.exslt.org/list. EXSLT is an open community initiative to standardise and document extensions to XSLT. The extensions are broken down into a number of modules, currently Common, Math, Sets and Functions. One aim of EXSLT is to get the implementers of XSLT processors to standardise the functions that they make available, so that your stylesheets can be more portable. If your XSLT processor doesn't support a particular extension, you can always download packages (see http://www.exslt.org/download.html) that you can use to provide functions or templates for your stylesheets. Have a look at the How To... page at http://www.exslt.org/howto.html for details on how to use the packages. Anyone can contribute to EXSLT. You can submit your suggestions for extensions, your own implementations and test cases or examples (see http://www.exslt.org/submissions). There's no vetting procedure for submissions - if you submit an extension and one doesn't already exist with the same name, then the extension will be added to the site. However, we will keep track of the status of extensions so that you can tell what's implemented where. In addition, each module has a core subset; implementers that claim support for that module must implement that core. The emphasis on the site is towards XSLT extensions rather than XSLT templates. However, every extension function can have an equivalent template as well, which people can use as a backup if the function isn't supported. The site has been put together by myself, Jim Fuller, Uche Ogbuji and Dave Pawson. If you'd like to join the team or you have any comments on the site, please direct them to managers@xxxxxxxxxx Other discussion should take place on list@xxxxxxxxxx Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
