Xselerator 2.5

MarrowSoft Xselerator is a professional and easy to use XSL Editor and Debugger. Xselerator is widely used by leading XSLT training companies and many universities worldwide
Main features:
XSLT Wizards:
- HTML Table building
- HTML selects/list box building
- XSLT grouping/distinct expression building - easily build Muenchian technique expressions and keys
Tools
- Project Files Manager - keeps all your related XML and XSL files together
- XPath query analyzer - test XPath queries to see the resulting node sets and NEW scalar results (string, numeric, Boolean etc.) results and use of variables, keys, XSLT functions and defined namespaces (using query environment configuration). Click on items in a resultant node-set to view position of that node in the source/tree view
- XML tidier - prettifies your XML/XSLT by inserting indentation
- HTML Tidying (using HTMLTidy/TidyCOM)
- Check well-formedness and validation (against DTD/Schema) buttons
- Full history saving - allowing previously opened files to be quickly re-opened. Re-opened stylesheets have previously used parameters restored and restores all previously set breakpoints
- Hundreds of example and sample XML/XSLT stylesheets
- Extensible intuitive (intellisense) and color syntax highlighting capabilities - with support files included for FO, SVG and XSD namespaces
- All the usual editor capabilities (cut, copy, paste, find, replace) plus special Copy as RTF and Copy as HTML features allowing syntax highlighting to be preserved when copying and pasting to word-processors, html editors and newsgroups etc.
- Print and print preview - with full syntax highlighting
- Full encoding support
- Many options for configuring display characteristics and behavior of editor
- Snippet library - allows you to store commonly used fragments of XSLT code and insert them quickly and easily
IDE (Integrated Developer Environment)
- Clear and easy to use IDE
- Open multiple XSL stylesheets
- One click transformation testing (no need to setup complex scenarios or projects!)
- Full transformation testing - including passing of parameters and start mode
- Source, tree and browse view modes
- Configurable to use all the common transformation engines - including MSXML 3.0 & 4.0, Xalan-C, Xalan-J, Saxon, Instant-Saxon, XT and Sablotron
- SVG and FO render view modes
XSLT Debugger
- Debugger uses MSXML transformation engine (so that debug session behavior matches real production environment transformation and yields excellent W3 conformance)
- Full stepping capability with step-out-of, step-over, run-to-last, restart and unique step backward
- Stepping into imported/included stylesheets
- Set breakpoints on both XSLT and input XML with capability to break on all types of input node including processor instructions, attributes, comments, text nodes
- Conditional breakpoints with enabling/disabling of breakpoints
- View template call stack (showing in scope variables)
- View global params and variables
- Watch values (including full XPath expression watches)
- Stepping into built-in rule templates (with full support for mode recognition in built-in rules)
- Unique incremental output display during debugging shows the output XML/HTML/text being built as you step through - now with right-click on output to show the XSLT statement that generated that output and the context node of the input XML at the point at which it was generated
- Possible infinite recursion detection and maximum limit recursion checking
- Debug to error position - allows debugging to continue even when some critical errors are encountered
- Test XPath expressions in XPath Query Analyzer against current debug environment
Stylesheet Navigation
- Right-click on a stylesheet href (in xsl:import/include elements) to open that stylesheet
- Right-click on a template name (in xsl:call-template element) to go to that template
- Template Navigator - shows a top level view of your stylesheet with all of the templates and included/imported templates - click on a template to go to that template in the editor
- Right-click on instruction to open that stylesheet
Editor
- XSL/XSLT element and attribute intuitive (intellisense) drop-downs
- XSL/XSLT attribute value intuitive (intellisense) - drop-downs of possible attribute values including dynamic values such as template names, param names, modes, included/imported stylesheets
- Automatic tag completion - in XSL/XSLT tag completion follows model and optionally fills element with mandatory attributes
- Extended auto tag completion - keeps track of your unclosed tags and closes them individually with drop-downs or all at once with one click
- Fully customizable XSL, XSLT, XML and HTML color syntax highlighting - including error highlighting of misused attributes
- HTML element, attribute and attribute value intuitive (intellisense) drop-downs
- HTML style attribute values can use BradSoft TopStyle (v2.5) to create CSS style values
- Extensible intuitive (intellisense) and color syntax highlighting capabilities - with support files included for FO, SVG and XSD namespaces
- All the usual editor capabilities (cut, copy, paste, find, replace) plus special Copy as RTF and Copy as HTML features allowing syntax highlighting to be preserved when copying and pasting to word-processors, html editors and newsgroups etc.
- Print and print preview - with full syntax highlighting
- Full encoding support
- Many options for configuring display characteristics and behavior of editor
- Snippet library - allows you to store commonly used fragments of XSLT code and insert them quickly and easily
Output viewing
- Support for SVG and XSL-FO rendered output viewing (SVG requires Adobe SVG viewer plugin, XSL-FO requires external FOP engine)
Full Unicode Support
- Xselerator now auto-senses correct Unicode encoding on loading of files, preserves the encoding during editing, allows saving as various UTF encodings and preserves encoding when switching to view mode (eliminating view mode error report of switch from current encoding not supported)
- Direct support for over 50 encodings (including UTF-7, full ISO-8859-x, Big5, Shift-JIS etc. - dependant on Windows version and capabilities
Enhanced stylesheet navigation
- Open included/imported stylesheet at cursor
- Right-click and select Goto template at cursor
Transformation
- One click transformation test
- Full transformation testing (including XSL parameter passing, start mode and output test path)
- Use of alternative command line transformation engines (e.g. Instant Saxon, XT, etc.) of up to 16 transformation engines
User Defined Prefixes
- UDP (User Defined Prefixes) feature allows the configuration of namespace prefixes with language implementations - offering element/attribute/attribute value intuitive (intellisense). Each defined UDP can be configured with its own highlighting colours
- Supplied with UDP configuration files for XSL-FO and SVG
Version restrictions:
- 14 day trial
