Hi Norm,

I like the externalRef feature too. I actually would have liked to see an analogous feature in XSLT 2.0 (xsl:call-transform or some such). It would let you use existing stylesheets wholesale, without worry about conflicting modes (especially the default one), variable names, etc. Alas, that wasn't the only fight I lost ;-)

Yes, that would have been nice. I bet there are a lot of nice things we could have done if we hadn't gotten tangled in the W3C XML Schema type system. And we could have finished in 2002, too! :-)

Thanks for this schema! The "start = xslt10 | xslt20" trick is really cool.

"how do I get emacs to use the 2.0 grammar for 2.0 stylesheets and the 1.0 grammar for 1.0 stylesheets?"

While I don't have entry-help in Vim, I installed your schema so that I can validate XSLT 2.0 documents from within Vim (and from the shell).

I added an entry to my language list, now I get:

$ cat 2_0_simple.xslt

<html xsl:version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head> <title>Expense Report Summary</title> </head>

<body> <p>Total Amount: <xsl:value-of select="expense-report/total"/></p> </body> </html>

$ xval 2_0_simple.xslt

[xval] validating 2_0_simple.xslt against

/home/tobi/bulk/xml/schemas/xslt/2_0/rng/xslt20.rnc

[xval] jing:

$ # changed the file

$ xval 2_0_simple.xslt

[...]

[xval] jing:

/home/tobi/data/run/xval/_tests/2_0_simple.xslt:8:68:

error: element "fvalue-of" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" not allowed in this context

$

(it would be great if you could allow backtalkers to enter preformatted code, eg via HTML pre or some Wiki style markup)

"how do I get emacs to use the 2.0 grammar for 2.0 stylesheets and the 1.0 grammar for 1.0 stylesheets?

The short answer is: there isn’t any way (it could be done, but not with any of the techniques provided by an unmodified nxml mode)."

Does that mean that

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/emacs-nxml-mode/message/259

can't be used to associate the XSLT 1.0 RNG/RNC with XSLT 1.0 documents and the XSLT 2.0 RNG/RNC with XSLT 2.0 documents?

P.S.

My question was not rhetoric :)

I'd really be interested in an answer.

TIA

I always have a hard time getting to the Yahoo Groups archives (I get infinite redirection), so I can't follow the link you posted, but I expect you're pointing to James' "locating rules" language.

As it stands today, you can't select a schema URI based on an attribute value on the root element (or even on the combination of namespace *and* the name of the root element).

That means there's no way for nxml-mode to tell the difference between XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0. But James and I have exchanged some email on the topic and I think there will be a new version that will be able to cope with the selection.

Thanks for the reply!

Here's what I use:

Works great.

Is there a good debugger for XSLT 2.0?

In my site-lisp\nxml-mode\schema directory I renamed James' original xslt.rnc to xslt10.rnc and installed Norm's xslt.rnc. I visited docbook.xsl and got the message, File mode specification error: (error "Reference not in a grammar at position 2 in c:/Program Files/emacs-21.3/site-lisp/nxml-mode/schema/xslt.rnc") in the echo area. The mode line indicates (nXML Valid). What am I doing wrong?
