Hello everyone,
For the last couple of weeks, I've been working on adding XSLT support to the upcoming Army Builder 3.3. XSLT support will allow Army Builder to generate simple XML roster files, which can then be transformed into HTML by the application of XSL style sheets. This should give you an easy way to generate customized roster output, which we get a lot of requests for.
We'll post more information about this feature (and the other cool features we have planned for AB3.3) later, but for now I had a question for any developers out there. I've been experimenting with using the microsoft MSXML libraries to transform the XML and XSL files. It basically works, but I've run into a couple of places where it won't support certain things that XSL should allow. This makes me worry that it isn't 100% standards compliant, and that perhaps using it might cause us problems in the future.
Does anyone have experience with using MSXML for XSLT stuff, and did you run into any problems doing it?
Or, do any windows developers here have suggestions for alternative XSL parsers that I can use? I need a way to take an XML file and an XSL file, and generate an HTML file based on them. (The functions must be able to be called from C or C++.)
Thanks all!
