The XSLT C library for Gnome

Okay this section is clearly incomplete. But integrating libxslt into yourapplication should be relatively easy. First check the few steps describedbelow, then for more detailed informations, look at thegenerated pagesfor the API and the sourceof libxslt/xsltproc.c and the tutorial.

Basically doing an XSLT transformation can be done in a few steps:

1. configure the parser for XSLT:

   xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(1);

   xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue = 1;

2. parse the stylesheet with xsltParseStylesheetFile()
3. parse the document with xmlParseFile()
4. apply the stylesheet using xsltApplyStylesheet()
5. save the result using xsltSaveResultToFile() if needed setxmlIndentTreeOutput to 1

Steps 2,3, and 5 will probably need to be changed depending on youprocessing needs and environment for example if reading/saving from/tomemory, or if you want to apply XInclude processing to the stylesheet orinput documents.
