RXSLT

RXSLT is an experiment in looking at at alternatives to XML-encoded W3C markup processing languages. The current RXSLT language is based on XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0. Right now the following stuff is available:

1. The paper I'm presenting at the Extreme Markup 2006 Conference in Montreal, describing the RXSLT language in various forms: text, HTML and PDF. The paper contains links to various other similar alternatives to XML-encoded XSLT. There's one more that I was informed of post-conference that's similar to RXSLT: XSLTXT.

2. The grammar of the RXSLT language: text, HTML and PDF.

3. Samples from the XSLT 1.0 specification: text, HTML and PDF.

4. I've taken the six Extreme Markup Conference XSLT Style Sheets (you can find them on their DTD Page), and converted them to RXSLT.

5. The XSLT-to-RXSLT program written in Python, using the pattern matching library available on my Python work page.

6. The slides I used at the Extreme Markup 2006 Conference: PDF slides.

The whole lot is available as a ZIP file that you can download by clicking here: rxslt.zip. Have fun.
