The SAXON XSLT and XQuery Processor
The SAXON XSLT and XQuery Processor Downloaded Saxon-HE from the above URL on my Linux box, decided to go for the Java variant, installed saxonhe.jar and “the resources” into /usr/local/saxon-resources9-3. I wasn’t able to browse the documentation below saxon-resources9-3/doc with Chrome-10, so I use Firefox-3.6 for that. But I also read the documentation here. This is…

mind mapping using Free Mind and emacs and its nXML-mode

my favourite RSS reader: SAGE within Firefox
I remember, I haven’t told you yet, how I read my RSS subscriptions. I am using SAGE. It has an XML based exchange format called OPML, which is actually just a format for listing outlines of books, articles, whatever, and apart from the SAGE aspect: I love to edit OPML in emacs’s nxml mode. Let…
