Michael Smith has released version 1.71.1 of the DocBook XSL stylesheets. According to Smith,
This is a minor update to the 1.71.0 release. Along with a number of bug fixes, it includes two feature changes:
- Added support for profiling based on
xml:langandstatusattributes.- Added initial support in manpages output for footnote, annotation, and alt instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same way ulink instances are. They are treated as a class as "note sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the main text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed in an endnotes section at the end of the man page.
Pavel Sher has posted Juxy 0.8,
"a simple unit testing library for XSLT written in Java. Juxy allows to call or apply individual XSLT templates from Java and does not use any specific features of XSLT processor for that purposes. It relies entirely on TRaX API and should work with any TRaX compliant XSLT processor."
Version 0.8 adds W3C schema validation and an
XPathAssert class.
Juxy is published under the Apache 2.0 license. Java 1.4 or later is required.
