XProc

Welcome to the XProc Wikibook

XProc is a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation language for designing XML pipelines.

Update: We just set up a subversion repository for the source code for the examples: http://code.google.com/p/xproc-examples

Please let us know if you would like contribute source code to the examples.

Jim Fuller started this project and encourages contributions, give me a shout if you need help.

IntroductionEdit

The XProc vocabularyEdit

XProc is made up of three categories of things: core elements, ancillary elements, and a standard step library. The core elements give logic constructs, conditional and iterative processing statements and try/catch error mechanisms:

Example PipelineEdit

PitfallsEdit

Example ScriptsEdit

Beginning ExamplesEdit

These examples are for people who are just getting started with XProc.

1. Simple Pipe - A simple pipeline where the source and XSLT are inline.
2. XSLT Pipe - An example where the source and XSLT files are in three separate files.
3. Multiple XSLT Pipe - An example where multiple XSLT transformations occur one after the other on a single XML input.

Intermediate ExamplesEdit
