re: XSL Execution triggers? (ajg)

well, the only way of triggering something programmatic during processing in
XSLT is to use extension functions....

of course u could put PI's in for post/pre/whenever processing, thats what
they are there for, with the obvious caveat that the processing is intended
for some other parser, processor, appserver, etc.

u may want to take a look at the W3c recently published note for XML
Pipeline, which addresses a nice workflow of processing.

Hi,

is there any PI in the XSL spec that will trigger execution of a script

or process on an XML file. Such a thing could be used for programatic

pre- or post-processing on the XML file. It would also be useful for

logging or triggering notifications when a stylesheet is applied to an

XML file.

Is there any such PI in the XML spec either?

Alastair.
