1.14 `web.xml` -- XSLT Transform

The web.xml module currently only provides one function, transform(), used to apply an XSL Stylesheet to an XML document.

transform( input, stylesheet, output)

input: The path to the XML file
stylesheet: The path to the stylesheet file
output: The file where the output should be written

For Example:

file-web-xml.xml

<source>

<title>XSL</title>
<author>John Smith</author>

</source>

file-web-xml.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
     xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:template match="/">
     <h1>
          <xsl:value-of select="//title"/>
     </h1>
     <h2>
          <xsl:value-of select="//author"/>
     </h2>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And the code to transform it:

command-web-xml.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys; sys.path.append('../../../') # show python where the web modules are
import web.xml
web.xml.transform("file-web-xml.xml","file-web-xml.xsl","xml.html")

This creates the output file test.html:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<h1>XSL</h1><h2>John Smith</h2>
