XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 offer an almost overwhelming number of new features. Some have complained about the new versions of XSLT and XPath on this count. Personally, I like most of the new offerings and, fortunately, no one is forced to adopt all the new functionality. Nevertheless, the terminology will definitely require devotees to plow deeply into the new specifications in order to get a grip on it. This chapter lightly introduced you to many highlights from these new technologies. It also walked you through how to output multiple result documents, define and use regular expressions, use grouping, and create stylesheet functions. The next chapter shows programmers how to use APIs to write your own interface to an XSLT processor. |
