.@MartianOdyssey @klowe447 @luellaj Processing DITA with XSLT is just much harder than most XML—@ndw
@ndw @MWiedenmaier @MartianOdyssey @klowe447 @luellaj I don't know about "most XML". I'm doing #DITA #XSLT 24/7, no sweat. How is it harder?—@4everJang
@4everjang If you want to process DITA taking specialization into account you need to do all
processing around class attributes /cc @ndw—@georgebina
@4everjang If you need resolved content you need to do it in XSLT as opposed to have the XML
parser resolve an XInclude include /cc @ndw—@georgebina
@georgebina @ndw OK, fair enough. I am not doing those yet, but I will get there, no doubt :-) See
you at #TCUK ?, #tcworld, #Lavacon ?—@4everJang
@4everjang I will be at #InfoDevWorld, #TEIConf2015, #tcworld, #ditaotday and #DITAEurope this autumn /cc @ndw—@georgebina
@georgebina @4everJang @ndw I simplify specialization-aware XSLT with text entities for class-aware selectors.
<xsl:template match="&ph;"/>—@chrisnitchie
@4everJang
cant be that easy when ur doing #dita 24/7;-)
u need other starting points learning #xslt @ndw @MartianOdyssey @klowe447 @luellaj—@MWiedenmaier
@4everJang @MWiedenmaier @MartianOdyssey @klowe447 @luellaj It's all that class value matching nonsense, mostly.—@ndw

@MartianOdyssey @luellaj @ndw I'm bookmarking that site! Thanks. It's really hard if you are not a coder! This
site helps me help myself.—@klowe447

Is it possible to write a #Gradle task that is an extension of #JavaExec (to have a different API)? Must hack http://t.co/aCt6gVClD99?—@ndw
@ndw @mojavelinux The Spring Boot plugin’s bootRun task is a JavaExec subclass: https://t.co/m9yPEPb41X
Any help?—@ankinson
@ankinson @mojavelinux Probably. I was trying to do it in Groovy as it's just setting a few arguments. Maybe
that's not possible.—@ndw
@ndw It is possible. Look at JRubyExec (https://t.co/EYzDJGqdzg) and RhinoShellExec (https://t.co/VVzRINkQUO)—@ysb33r
@DALDEI I followed the examples I got from here: https://t.co/jMnDJYrWp5 But also see https://t.co/mRa6D9gNFC—@ndw
