Re: [Exist-open] XProc (Calabash) Status?

[Ari N. <ari...@gm...>]

Hi,

I think Norm is busy with work and real life, but I know the Calabash XProc
3.0 version is in the works. You should look into Morgana XProc for XProc
3.0 support in the meantime.

As for running a sequence of XQueries with one providing the input to the
next, I assume you'd want to do it in an eXist context? If so, XProc
remains a rather painful option as it's not well supported.

I'd go with an XQ wrapper instead. I did something very similar to run XSLT
stylesheets in sequence in eXist. I had done it in XProc and Calabash on
the file system but getting XProc to work in eXist proved to be too much of
a pain so I reimplemented the pipeline in XQ instead.

My XProc and XQuery are both on GitHub:
https://github.com/sgmlguru/xproc-batch

It should be fairly uncomplicated to modify the XQuery to run XQueries
instead.

Best,

/Ari
