Re: Re: [xsl] Rexsel — A simpler way of writing XSLT

Hello,

Or, today, to process HTML into an XSLT pipeline, one might opt for XProc
3.0.

What with plain-text, JSON and HTML inputs, and with XSLT streaming and
accumulators, maybe XSLT has finally caught up with Omnimark?

Regards, Wendell

If you have a Saxon PE or EE license you can use SaxonCPE or SaxonCEE
(https://pypi.org/project/saxoncee/) with Python and use the parse-html
extension/XPath 4 function to process HTML5 with XSLT 4/XQuery 4 (and until we
see 12.5 with XPath if you use the hack of
https://saxonica.plan.io/issues/5967#note-8).

parse-html(unparsed-text("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/saxon";))

Your mileage of "easy way" might differ.
