Xml Xsl Plugin

The plugin is used to return HTML containing an XML dataisland which, when processed by the browser, will show the XSL applied to the XML.

Unlike the SablotronPlugin which does the transformation at the server, the XmlXslPlugin does the transformation on the browser.

Syntax Rules

• %XMLXSLTRANSFORM{...}%

The xml source, xsl source, and css source parameters may be TWiki topic names or urls.

XmlXslPlugin Settings

• One line description, is shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = This plugin can be used to return HTML created from the application of an XSL to some XML.
• Debug plugin: (See output in data/debug.txt)
  • Set DEBUG = 0
