DESCRIPTION
The libexslt library is used to provide extensions to XSLT functions. These extensions come from the EXSLT project <http://www.exslt.org/>
USAGE
To make use of these functions in XSLT the appropriate namespace must be defined on the xsl:stylesheet element. To enable support for them in libxslt(3) you must call the appropriate functions (listed in the SYNOPSIS section) to register the extensions. The xslt-config shell script can be used to obtain the necessary flags for the pre-processor and linker. The supported extensions are:
COMMON
- Namespace: http://exslt.org/common
- See http://www.exslt.org/exsl/index.html for a description.
node-set()- convert the given RTF into a node-set.
object-type()- returns the type of the given argument.
document- Create multiple output documents. See http://www.exslt.org/exsl/elements/document/index.html
MATH
- Namespace: http://exslt.org/math
- See http://www.exslt.org/math/index.html for a description.
min()- returns the minimum value of the given node-set
max()- returns the maximum value of the given node-set
highest()- returns the nodes in the node-set whose value is the maximum value for the node-set.
lowest()- returns the nodes in the node-set whose value is the minimum value for the node-set.
constant()- returns a number value of the given constant with the given precision. The constants are PI, E, SQRRT2, LN2, LN10, LOG2E, and SQRT1_2.
random()- returns a random number between 0 and 1 inclusive.
abs()- returns the absolute value of the argument.
sqrt()- returns the square root of the argument.
power()- returns the power base and power arguments.
log()- returns the natural log of the argument.
sin()- returns the sine of the argument.
cos()- returns the cosine of the argument.
tan()- returns the tangent of the argument.
asin()- returns the arc sine of the argument.
acos()- returns the arc cosine of the argument.
atan()- returns the arc tangent of the argument.
atan2()- returns the arc tangent function of the y/x arguments.
exp()- returns the exponential function of the argument.
SETS
- Namespace: http://exslt.org/sets
- See http://www.exslt.org/set/index.html for a description.
difference()- returns the difference between the two given node-sets.
intersection()- returns a node-set of the nodes within both given node-sets.
distinct()- returns a node-set of all nodes in the first argument that are not in the seconds argument.
has-same-node()- returns TRUE if there is an intersection between the two given node-sets.
leading()- returns a node-set of all nodes in the first argument that precede the first node in the second argument.
trailing()- returns a node-set of all nodes in the first argument that follow the first node in the second argument.
DATES and TIMES
- Namespace: http://exslt.org/dates-and-times
- See http://www.exslt.org/date/date.html for a description.
date-time()- returns the current date and time as a date/time string.
date()- returns the date specified in the given date/time string.
time()- returns the time specified in the date/time string given as the argument.
year()- returns the year of a date as a number.
leap-year()- returns true if the year given in a date is a leap year.
month-in-year()- returns the month of a date as a number.
month-name()- returns the full name of the month of a date.
month-abbreviation()- returns the abbreviation of the month of a date.
week-in-year()- returns the week of the year as a number.
week-in-month()- returns the week in a month of a date as a number.
day-in-year()- returns the month of a date as a number.
day-in-month()- returns the day of a date as a number.
day-of-week-in-month()- returns the day-of-the-week in a month of a date as a number.
day-in-week()- returns the day of the week given in a date as a number.
day-name()- returns the full name of the day of the week of a date.
day-abbreviation()- returns the abbreviation of the day of the week of a date.
hour-in-day()- returns the hour of the day as a number.
minute-in-hour()- returns the minute of the hour as a number.
second-in-minute()- returns the second of the minute as a number.
seconds()- returns the number of seconds specified by the argument string.
add()- returns the date/time resulting from adding a duration to a date/time.
add-duration()- returns the duration resulting from adding two given durations together.
difference()- returns the duration between the first date and the second date.
duration()- returns a duration string that represents the given number of seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00.
STRINGS
- Namespace: http://exslt.org/strings
- See http://www.exslt.org/str/index.html for a description.
tokenize()- returns a node set of token elements, each containing one token from the string.
padding()- returns a string padded to a certain length.
align()- returns a string aligned within another string.
concat()- returns the concatenation of the string values of the nodes in that node set.
FUNCTIONS
- Namespace: http://exslt.org/functions
- See http://www.exslt.org/func/index.html for a description.
function- declares an extension function.
result- returns the result of an extension function declared in function().
