EXAMPLES

Simple example

        require 'xml/xslt'

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
        xslt.xml = "text.xml"
        xslt.xsl = "test.xsl"

        out = xslt.serve()
        print out;

REXML support

        require 'rexml/document'
        require 'xml/xslt'

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()

        xslt.xml = REXML::Document.new File.read( "test.xml" )
        xslt.xsl = REXML::Document.new File.read( "test.xsl" )

        out = xslt.serve()
        print out;

XML::Smart support

        require 'xml/smart'
        require 'xml/xslt'

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()

        xslt.xml = XML::Smart.open( "test.xml" )
        xslt.xsl = XML::Smart.open( "test.xsl" )

        out = xslt.serve()
        print out;

Parameters support

        require "xml/xslt"

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
        xslt.xsl = "parameter.xsl"
        xslt.xml = "test.xml"
        xslt.parameters = { "p1" => "the first parameter ...",
                            "p2" => "'and the second one!'" }
        xslt.save("test1.html")

        xslt.parameters = { "p1" => "Ruby...",
                            "p2" => "'...is cool !'" }
        xslt.save("test2.html")

External functions support

        require "xml/xslt"

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
        xslt.xsl = "functions.xsl"
        xslt.xml = "test.xml"

        XML::XSLT.registerExtFunc("http://test.none", "round-trip") do |arg|
          arg
        end

        XML::XSLT.registerExtFunc("http://test.none", "type") do |arg|
          arg.class.to_s
        end

        print xslt.serve

Error handling

        XML::XSLT.registerErrorHandler { |string| puts string }

        xslt = XML::XSLT.new
        xslt.xml = "not xml"

This fragment would print:

        Entity: line 1:
        parser
        error :
        Start Tag expected, '<' not found
        not xml
        ^
