Subject:   ANN: xslide 0.2b1 XSL mode for Emacs

Revision 0.2 Beta 1 of the xslide package for an Emacs major mode for editing XSL stylesheets is available at:

      http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xslide/

Subsequent beta releases of xslide 0.2 might not be announced, but the latest version will always be available at the above URL. The release of a stable xslide 0.2 will be announced.

Feedback on the usability of the new features is requested.

Features of xslide revision 0.2b1 include:

  • XSL customization groups for setting some variables

  • Initial stylesheet inserted into empty XSL buffers;

  • "Template" menu for jumping to template rules in the buffer;

  • xsl-process function that runs an XSL processor and collects the output;

  • Predefined xsl-process command line templates and error regexps for XT and Saxon;

  • Font lock highlighting so that the important information stands out;

  • xsl-complete function for inserting element and attribute names;

  • xsl-insert-tag function for inserting matching start- and end-tags;

  • Improved automatic completion of end-tags;

  • Improved automatic indenting of elements; and

  • Comprehensive abbreviations table to further ease typing.

xslide is a work in progress. Code contributions and suggestions for improvements are always welcome. Use the xsl-submit-bug-report function to report bugs.

Regards,

Tony Graham
