= xslide Emacs mode for XSL =

The xslide package for an Emacs major mode for editing XSL stylesheets is available at  http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xslide/. Installation instructions are included in the file `readme.txt` in the xslide distribution.

''Do not bookmark anything about xslide other than this page and the !SourceForge project since this web site is still a work in progress and filenames and directories may still change.''

The current revision is 0.2.2, dated 4 August 2003.

Feedback on the usability of the new features is requested.

Send questions or comments to xslide-bug at menteith.com. Use the `xsl-submit-bug-report` function to report bugs.

Features of xslide revision 0.2 include:

    * XSL customization group for setting some variables;
    * Initial stylesheet inserted into empty XSL buffers;
    * "Template" menu for jumping to template rules, named templates, key declarations, and attribute-set declarations in the buffer;
    * `xsl-process` function that runs an XSL processor and collects the output;
    * Predefined xsl-process command line templates and error regexps for Java and Windows executable versions of both XT and Saxon;
    * Font lock highlighting so that the important information stands out;
    * `xsl-complete` function for inserting element and attribute names;
    * `xsl-insert-tag` function for inserting matching start- and end-tags;
    * Automatic completion of end-tags with user-definable indentation step;
    * Comprehensive abbreviations table to further ease typing. 

xslide is a work in progress. Code contributions and suggestions for improvements are always welcome.
