Hello BaseX team,

 

I typically use the xslt:transform-text function to apply an XSLT stylesheet and obtain the result that is serialized by Saxon according to the xsl:output instructions in the stylesheet. The xslt:transform-report has the advantage of providing access to messages created by xsl:message instructions. I have a few questions about these functions:

 

Is there a way to use the xsl:transform-report function to obtain messages and the serialized result (instead of document nodes) that is currently returned by xslt:transform-text?

 

Is there a way to provide a base URI in the options of xsl:transform-text (or xsl:transform-report or xsl:transform)? If the input to the transformation is on disk then the base URI is set automatically, however if the input is held in memory then the base URI is not set so it could be helpful to be able to provide a base uri to the transformer as an option.

 

The documentation doesn’t mention these capabilities so I’m guessing that these things are not currently possible.

 

Thank you,

Vincent
