Anybody know a good way of processing XSLT on Mac OS X? In work (on a
PC) I use Saxon via Textpad, which I'm very happy with, but at home I'm
running OS X, and I don't know where to start. I've followed the Saxon
instructions as far as "Add saxon.jar to you classpath", but I haven't
got a clue how to do it. I also downloaded the AppleScript XSLT Tools,
but I haven't got a clue what to do with them either. I've tried "Test
XSLT", but it tends to crash when I do anything remotely complicated.
It is quite easy to run XSLT on Mac OS X, as long as you're
happy to do it at the Unix level [*].
In the past I've run Saxon and I usually just point the JRE
straight at the jar file, ie 'java -jar saxon.jar ...'.
It's been a while since I've done it that way, see below.
Now I do all of my XSLT processing using libxslt. As Daniel
pointed out, Mac OS X binaries are available from our website.
You can also get the software using Fink. Simply run xsltproc
instead of Saxon.
[*] We're working on a GUI tool to make running XSLT processing
easier. Email me if you'd like a preview version.
