AxKit offers a variety of configuration options for associating documents with its various language processors. Chapter 4 covers each in detail. In Example 3-5, you create an .htaccess file in the same directory as your XML documents. It defines a default style for AxKit to use when processing documents in this directory.
Pay attention to the arguments passed to the AxAddProcessor directive. The first is the MIME type that AxKit examines to decide which language processor modules to use, and the second is the DocumentRoot-relative path to the stylesheet that will be passed to that language processor to transform your XML documents. If you want to use your XPathScript stylesheet rather than the XSLT, you would use AxAddProcessor application/x-xpathscript stylesheets/cryptozoo.xps instead. This processor definition is wrapped in an AxStyleName block. This directive block, in turn , combines the processor definitions it contains into a single "named style" that a StyleChooser or other plug-in can select at runtime. By giving this style the special name #default , you are configuring AxKit to use this style as a fallback if no other style is explicitly selected.
