CyberNeko Style Processor _0.2.3

About

NekoStyle is a simple and flexible framework for automating XML transformations. It is designed and implemented to be extremely small and flexible to reduce the need for similar large packages in order to perform tasks such as batch XML transformations and generating documentation.

NekoStyle is similar to the StyleBook tool used to generate the Xerces-J documentation. However, NekoStyle is smaller, more flexible, and (perhaps most importantly) documented.

Requirements and Limitations

The basic NekoStyle framework only depends on the W3C Document Object Model (DOM). However, in order to use the Pipeline processor and other processors included with NekoStyle, you should also have the following installed:

• XML Parser
• XSLT Processor
• NekoHTML (optional)

For specific dependencies, refer to the requirements of each processor listed on the Processors page.

This version has the following limitations:

• All of the system identifiers are relative from the invocation directory. This means that all references to files, URLs, and stylesheets cannot be relative from where they are referenced — you must provide the full path from the directory where NekoStyle was invoked. I know this is a pain and I will be addressing this limitation in the next release.
• The HTML printer uses the TrAX-compliant XSLT processor for serialization and cannot be relied upon to correctly change the charset specified in the META[@http-equiv-"Content-Type"]/@content node. I know that at least Xalan-J 2.3.0 has this problem and may produce an extra META tag instead of changing the charset in the existing tag. I will fix this problem in a future release.
