In order to do that, you'll have to proceed as follows: [1] Copy whc.jar and whc_template/ into the directory where resides your add-on. [2] Write an XSLT stylesheet which generates XHTML files + an XML index file + an XML TOC file out of "Foo" documents. [3] Write a Java static method which invokes whc. Let's call this Java static method "FooWHC.compile". [4] Write an XXE <process> command which [a] invokes your XSLT stylesheet using <transform> and [b] invokes whc by the means of <invoke method="FooWHC.compile" /> In a nutshell, you are completely responsible of integrating whc in your custom configuration.

However this implementation: * Is not documented. (for example, step #3 is http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmleditext/whc/package-summary.html) * Has probably internal dependencies with the xxe.jar of v5.1.1 and thus, probably won't work with the xxe.jar of v5.1.0. Therefore there are very few chances that you could achieve what you want. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
