[xep-support] Can RenderX be used for non FO XSLT/XML processing?

[Jim Melton]

Randy,

Sorry, but the purpose of RenderX's product XEP is to *render* XSL FO into 
some other form, such as PDF or PostScript.

I think you're looking for an XSLT transformation engine that *transforms* 
XML into something else, including another XML document (including, but 
definitely not limited to, XSL FO), HTML, plain text, etc.

I have long been a fan of Michael Kay's no-cost XSLT engine, Saxon.  The 
most recent version of Saxon even has some support for the emerging XSLT 
2.0 specification, while still fully supporting XSLT 1.0.  You can find 
this engine readily by Googling for it, or by going to 
http://saxon.sourceforge.net/

There are many other XSLT engines, of course, including some from 
Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and others.

Hope this helps,
    Jim
