I would like to be able to execute xsltfiles directly. For instance,
given the file:
#!/usr/bin/xsltproc
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I would like to be able to run
./tt.xslt < in.xml > out.xml
and have everything just work.
Right now xsltproc *almost* does this except the xslt parser complains
of the shebang line. Were xsltproc to skip the first line of an xslt
script if it begins with a "#!" then this would work beautifully.
I looked in the source but didn't see an easy way to get the parser to
skip the first line. If someone could give me a hint on the best way to
do this, I'd be happy to wring together a patch.
Why I want this:
- It makes chaining xslt pipelines easier:
cat myfile | ./transform1 | ./transform2 > out.xml
- It makes filters much easier to specify in programs. Right now, to
specifyiing xslt filters in liferea is a drag. You need to type
"xsltproc ~/transform.xslt -" -- a 3 arguments. If tt.xslt were an
executable file, then you could specify it as you do any other filter,
with a standard file dialog. That's much easier!
- It would make my life nicer to not have to have to write shell script
to automate simple transforms.
Thanks,
- Scott
