  <abstract>
    <para>A tutorial on building a simple application using the
      <application>libxslt</application> library to perform
      <acronym>XSLT</acronym> transformations to convert an
      <acronym>XML</acronym> file into <acronym>HTML</acronym>.</para>

    <title>Introduction</title>

<para>The Extensible Markup Language (<acronym>XML</acronym>) is a World
    Wide Web Consortium standard for the exchange of structured data in text
    form. Its popularity stems from its universality. Any computer can
    read a text file. With the proper tools, any computer can read any other
    computer's <acronym>XML</acronym> files.
    </para>

<para>One of the most important of those tools is <acronym>XSLT</acronym>:
      Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. <acronym>XSLT</acronym>
      is a declarative language that allows you to
      translate your <acronym>XML</acronym> into arbitrary text output
      using a stylesheet. <application>libxslt</application> provides the
      functions to perform the transformation.
    </para>
   
    <para><application>libxslt</application> is a free C language library
      written by Daniel Veillard for the <acronym>GNOME</acronym> project
      allowing you to write programs that perform <acronym>XSLT</acronym>
      transformations.

<note>
	<para>
	While <application>libxslt</application> was written
	under the auspices of the <acronym>GNOME</acronym> project, it does not
	depend on any <acronym>GNOME</acronym> libraries. None are used in the
	example in this tutorial.

</para>

<para>This tutorial illustrates a simple program that reads an
      <acronym>XML</acronym> file, applies a stylesheet and saves the resulting
      output. This is not a program you would want to create
      yourself. <application>xsltproc</application>, which is included with the
      <application>libxslt</application> package, does the same thing and is
      more robust and full-featured. The program written for this tutorial is a
      stripped-down version of <application>xsltproc</application> designed to
      illustrate the functionality of <application>libxslt</application>. 
    </para>
    <para>The full code for <application>xsltproc</application> is in
      <filename>xsltproc.c</filename> in the <application>libxslt</application>
      distribution. It also is available <ulink
      url="http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/libxslt/libxslt/xsltproc.c">on the
      web</ulink>.

<sect1 id="functions">
    <title>Primary Functions</title>
    <para>To transform an <acronym>XML</acronym> file, you must perform three
    functions:
      <orderedlist>
	<listitem>
	  <para>parse the input file</para>
	</listitem>
	<listitem>
	  <para>parse the stylesheet</para>
	</listitem>
	<listitem>
	  <para>apply the stylesheet</para>
	</listitem>
      </orderedlist>
    </para>
    <sect2 id="preparing">
      <title>Preparing to Parse</title>
      <para>Before you can begin parsing input files or stylesheets, there are
      several steps you need to take to set up entity handling. These steps are
	not unique to <application>libxslt</application>. Any
	<application>libxml2</application> program that parses
      <acronym>XML</acronym> files would need to take similar steps. 
      </para>
      <para>First, you need set up some <application>libxml</application>
	housekeeping. Pass the integer value <parameter>1</parameter> to the
	<function>xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault</function> function, which tells
	the <application>libxml2</application> parser to substitute entities as
	it parses your file. (Passing <parameter>0</parameter> causes
	<application>libxml2</application> to not perform entity substitution.)
      </para>

<para>Second, set <varname>xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue</varname> equal to
	<parameter>1</parameter>. This tells <application>libxml</application>
	to load external entity subsets. If you do not do this and your
	input file includes entities through external subsets, you will get
	errors.</para>
    </sect2>
    <sect2 id="parsethestylesheet">
      <title>Parse the Stylesheet</title>
      <para>Parsing the stylesheet takes a single function call, which takes a
	variable of type <type>xmlChar</type>:
	<programlisting>
	  <varname>cur</varname> = xsltParseStylesheetFile((const xmlChar *)argv[i]);
	</programlisting>
	In this case, I cast the stylesheet file name, passed in as a
	command line argument, to <emphasis>xmlChar</emphasis>. The return value
	is of type <emphasis>xsltStylesheetPtr</emphasis>, a struct in memory
	that contains the stylesheet tree and other information about the
	stylesheet. It can be manipulated directly, but for this example you
	will not need to.
      </para>
    </sect2>

<sect2 id="parseinputfile">
      <title>Parse the Input File</title>
      <para>Parsing the input file takes a single function call:
	<programlisting>
doc = xmlParseFile(argv[i]);
	</programlisting>
	It returns an <emphasis>xmlDocPtr</emphasis>, a struct in memory that
	contains the document tree. It can be manipulated directly, but for this
	example you will not need to.
      </para>
    </sect2>

<sect2 id="applyingstylesheet">
      <title>Applying the Stylesheet</title>
      <para>Now that you have trees representing the document and the stylesheet
	in memory, apply the stylesheet to the document. The
	function that does this is <function>xsltApplyStylesheet</function>:
	<programlisting>
res = xsltApplyStylesheet(cur, doc, params);
	</programlisting>
	The function takes an xsltStylesheetPtr and an
	xmlDocPtr, the values returned by the previous two functions. The third
	variable, <varname>params</varname> can be used to pass
	<acronym>XSLT</acronym> parameters to the stylesheet. It is a
	NULL-terminated array of name/value pairs of const char's.
      </para>
    </sect2>

<sect2 id="saveresult">
      <title>Saving the result</title>
      <para><application>libxslt</application> includes a family of functions to use in
	saving the resulting output. For this example,
      <function>xsltSaveResultToFile</function> is used, and the results are
      saved to stdout:

<programlisting>
xsltSaveResultToFile(stdout, res, cur);
	</programlisting>

<note>
	  <para><application>libxml</application> also contains output
	    functions, such as <function>xmlSaveFile</function>, which can be
	    used here. However, output-related information contained in the
	    stylesheet, such as a declaration of the encoding to be used, will
	    be lost if one of the <application>libxslt</application> save
	    functions is not used.</para>
	</note>
      </para>
    </sect2>

<sect2 id="parameters">
      <title>Parameters</title>
      <para>
	In <acronym>XSLT</acronym>, parameters may be used as a way to pass
	additional information to a
	stylesheet. <application>libxslt</application> accepts
	<acronym>XSLT</acronym> parameters as one of the values passed to
	<function>xsltApplyStylesheet</function>.
      </para>
      
      <para>
	In the tutorial example and in <application>xsltproc</application>,
	on which the tutorial example is based, parameters to be passed take the
	form of key-value pairs. The program collects them from command line
	arguments, inserting them in the array <varname>params</varname>, then
	passes them to the function. The final element in the array is set to
	<parameter>NULL</parameter>.

<note>
	  <para>
	    If a parameter being passed is a string rather than an
	    <acronym>XSLT</acronym> node, it must be escaped. For the tutorial
	    program, that would be done as follows:
	    <command>tutorial]$ ./libxslt_tutorial --param rootid "'asect1'"
	    stylesheet.xsl filename.xml</command>
	  </para>
	</note>
      </para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="cleanup">
      <title>Cleanup</title>
      <para>After you are finished, <application>libxslt</application> and
	<application>libxml</application> provide functions for deallocating
      memory.
      </para>

<para>

	  xsltFreeStylesheet(cur);<co id="cleanupstylesheet" />
