XML/XSL

Manuel,
   Do you have a 'no fail' method for detecting a properly

installed/configured XML/XSL env. Once I was setup I forgot
about 
testing the env.

  It is not obvious to the user that they need libxml2,
libxslt, DocBook 
DTD, DocBook XSL Stylesheets and HTMLTidy installed.

   G.

For libxml2 >= 2.6.20 , libxslt >= 1.1.14 (xsltproc
--version will show both) 
and tidy (any post 1st September 2004 works)  a check like
the current ones 
for jhalfs dependencies is enough.

For the DTD and XSL the unique way I can think to be sure
that both have the 
correct version and are properly installed is running a
test-case. For that, 
a very simple XML document and XSL stylesheet need be
created (maybe via here 
documents dumped to temp files), running xmllint and
xsltproc on then, 
analyzing the output for errors.

I will try to create that test-cases this weekend while the
box will be busy 
doing new makefile builds.

That seems like a good plan. Looks like xsltproc and xmllint
will both
read from stdin if the filename is -. So no need for temp
files. Well,
I guess you need to provide the stylesheet, too.

xsltproc [options] - << "EOF"
...XML...
EOF
