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

Hi Wendell,

Not yet... there is some elegance I still hope for, one day in my current
tool stack.

omnimark FIND rules offer regular expressions in a declarative way very much
like templates in XSLT

and if your target would be SGML or XML you can get feedback from the parser
for conditionals on your FIND rules

That is two things left on my wish list before I would consider "finally
caught up"

Best regards

Geert

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.
