For more information, see the section describing the +equivalent Java extension in "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide"[2]. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Preparations +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +In addition to libxml2 and libxslt, the following software needs to +be installed before you start using the extensions: + +1. Python[3]. + +2. Python bindings for libxml2/libxslt. Most distributions of + libxml2/libxslt for Unix/Linux include these bindings. + A native Windows port is provided by Stéphane Bidoul[4]. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Installation of the extensions +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +No special installation step is needed. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +How to use the extensions +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Instead of using xsltproc, you run a Python program (xslt.py). The +command has this general form: + +python xslt.py xmlfile xslfile [outputfile] [param1=val1 [param2=val]...] + +Modify paths, filenames, and parameters as needed. Make sure to set +the "use.extensions" and "tablecolumns.extension" parameters to 1. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Manifest +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +README.LIBXSLT This file +xslt.py Executable script file +docbook.py Module that implements extensions + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +[1] http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT +[2] http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ColumnWidths.html +[3] http://www.python.org/download +[4] http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python |
