To use the conversion software, you will only need the following
additional tools:
-
An XSLT Parser.
The package works well with the following two parsers:
Xsltproc
A free XSLT parser (based on C) from the free
XSLT C library for Gnome.
Saxon
(Version 7.1 or later), the free XSLT Parser
based on Java (Saxon 7.1 will require JDK 1.2 or later) by Michael Kay.
-
Perl, lex/flex, yacc/bison, and recode.
All of these
are fairly common tools in current Linux/Unix distributions. Should they
be missing on your system, it will be very simple to obtain and install them.
-
An »appropriate« platform.
The XSLT style-sheets used for the translation from XML to HTML
will work platform independently. They work
with Unix, Linux or Windows. You only have to download the
appropriate XSLT parser for your platform. Saxon is designed
for Java and works platform independently. Xsltproc is based on
C and will NOT work platform independently. If you choose Xsltproc, you have
to download the package appropriate for your platform.
