Deprecated. This project is archived. The functionality has been replaced by calling liblouis-java directly from XSLT via a custom Saxon extension function.

Liblouis Saxon Extension

This project provides a saxon extension that allows to translate text nodes to braille using liblouis from within xsl.

It does this by providing a specialized javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory that can be used to configure applications that respect the System property "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory".

It uses saxon with a java extension that offers translating text into braille using liblouis.

Usage org.liblouis.LouisExtensionTransformerFactoryImpl

java -Djavax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory YourAppThatUsesJaxp

Examples can be found in the xsl tests which are performed using utf-x (we're using the svn version, which has been ported to work with saxon9he). See utfx.sh shell script in the project dtbook2sbsform.

Usage org.liblouis.LouisTransform

java org.liblouis.LouisTransform -s:yourSource.xml -xsl:yourXSLT.xsl

An example can be found in the dtbook2sbsform.sh shell script.

Debugging your XSLT

To print debug info, use Saxon's TraceListener mechanism:

java org.liblouis.LouisTransform -s:yourSource.xml -xsl:yourXSLT.xsl \
                                 -T:org.liblouis.LiblouisTraceListener \
                                 2> file/to/redirect/stderr/to
