XSLT 2.0

[Kouga]

Simple Question:

Does the CWP support it?

Is there anyway I can use it?

(well obviously if it supports it, then I can use it.)

[Martin Brändle]

XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 are still working drafts, and not W3C recommendations (aka standard). Probably they will be standards by end of 2005. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/

Due to this, and also because CWP uses the Xalan-Java v2.4 XSLT processor, CWP uses only XSLT 1.0. Even the newest version of Xalan-Java, v2.6, supports XSLT 1.0 only.

The only product known to me that supports XSLT 2.0 is the Saxon 8.4 XSLT processor by Michael Kay, one of the contributors to the XSLT standard. It is not free. If you want to use it instead of Xalan-Java - and I do not pretend that this impossible -, it's on your own risk.

Question back: What do you want to do with XSLT 2.0?

[Kouga]

Well, I'm just starting doing CWP, and I got Michael Kay's book, but I ordered the 2.0 version (which I happened to like a lot) and he had a lot of examples of code simplification from 1.0 to 2.0 that seemed really useful to some thing's I'd like to do.

Guess I have to return my book =/

Thanks guys!
