Hello,
could you please recommend a xslt processor for ruby? I tried Michael
Neumann's xslt4r which worked great for simple xsls. Now I'm looking for
something more up to date - a problem I ran into was when trying to use
the generate-id function. Any library that would support that?
Thanks!
Agnieszka

Thank you. I'm wondering if any of these supports XSLT 2.0?

(Not given more than a glance to Libxslt-Ruby yet, but here's how it looks to me right now):
From what I gather XSLT 2.0 is still a recommendation (a strong one, but still), and only Saxon has any plans to implement it properly. On the Libxml/Libxslt project we're currently concentrating on getting XML up to date, and should be onto a fresh release of XSLT sometime in Q12006, but AIUI at the moment, although Libxslt supports "some common extensions" to 1.0, there are no plans to go to 2.0 [1]. It seems most of the other library projects are of the same mind too [2]. If that's the case, Libxslt-ruby would have to follow suit I guess.
There are a few 'mostly there' implementations, but not with Ruby bindings as far as I can see. Maybe someone else has worked/is working on something with one of them?

I think what you meant to say is that XSLT 2.0 is a "candidate
recommendation". The next and last step is to become a plain
"recommendation".
and only Saxon has any plans to implement it properly.
Saxon has already fully implemented XSLT 2.0. See
http://www.saxonica.com/\. Also, you can get a free XSLT 2.0 engine
from Altova, makers of XML Spy. Both also support XQuery 1.0.
It would be great if someone would create a Ruby binding to Saxon.
Until then, your best bet is probably to use Saxon from Ruby by
executing a shell command with backquotes. For information on how to
run Saxon from a shell command, see
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/index/gettingstarted.html\.

Oops, yes, sorry.

I didn't mention XML Spy because I thought it's commercial / Windows only?

Maybe check out http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200110/msg00343.html\. I don't know how useful that is, or how 'real world', but it's a possibly interesting idea.

The thing I'm referring to is called "AltovaXML 2006". You can read
about it at RaptorXML Server | Altova. It is free. However,
I didn't realize it was Windows only. Bummer!
