XSLT 2.0 support in FrameMaker 11?

[Apollo102]

Hi,

I try several XSLT 2.0 stylesheets in XML code view of FM11. There everything is working as desired. But when I test the same style sheets in a structured application as pre-process, there are several error messages that eg XSLT 2.0 functions are unknown.

The information regarding XSLT 2.0 support in FrameMaker are somewhat contradictory. Can it be that XSLT 2.0 is only supported in the XML code view? In the "maker.ini" under "XSLTProcessors" SAXON is defined as default processor.

Thank you for your help.

In FrameMaker 11, XSLT 2.0 is only supported in code view. Pre-XSLT and Post-XSLT workflows in FM11 still uses Xalan-C for transformation, and which doesn't support XSLT 2.0.

From FM12 onwards, XSLT 2.0 support is also provided in Pre-XSLT and Post-XSLT as well. However, in order to use it you have to change the default processor mentioned in maker.ini of FM12 from XALAN to SAXON.

Thanks!
