Saxon 9 (free HE version) and DocBook XSL Saxon extensions: Compatible and working?

  • 1.  Saxon 9 (free HE version) and DocBook XSL Saxon extensions: Compatible and working?

    Posted 08-08-2014 14:24
    Hello all,

    can anyone confirm whether the Saxon extensions jar (I have tried
    saxon65.jar in DocBook XSL 1.78.1) is compatible with Saxon 9HE ?

    I just tried it in order to use the colwidth option for tables and got
    the error 'No adjustColumnWidths function available', but I think I
    have got my classpath correct.

    (I had it like this in a bash shell script (with $1 = the filename to process):
    java -cp ~/saxon/saxon9he.jar:~/saxon/DocBook/saxon65.jar
    net.sf.saxon.Transform -s:$1.xml
    -xsl:"/home/phillip/docbook-interoute/docbook-interoute-customization-html.xsl"
    -o:$1.html
    )

    On the other hand, I installed Saxon 6.5.5 and the docbook-saxon
    package from the Linux Ubuntu repository, and that works fine.

    Thanks Phillip

    Philip,

    The extension you're using is meant for the 6.5 line of Saxon Products
    which are XSLT 1.0 compliant.

    I'd be very surprised if it worked with 9 which is primarily an XSLT 2.0
    processory.

    To the list,

    Have the extensions been ported to Saxon 8/9?
