XSLT extensions

These are XSLT extension elements in the Tinderbox namespace (use them prefixed by "tb:" in your xpaths.)

They are mostly useful when called from within stylesheets, as those stylesheets generally do not operate on the Tinderbox document.

See the htmlToText.xsl node for examples.

declare-new-link

&lt;tb:declare-new-link name=&quot;linkType&quot; source=&quot;node&quot; dest=&quot;node&quot; start=&quot;pos&quot; len=&quot;len&quot; url=&quot;(optional url)&quot;/&gt;

This will create a new link between "source" and "dest" nodes. "start" and "len" are optional, and allow to anchor the link in text positions. If a "url" is given, the "dest" is disregarded.

declare-style-change

&lt;tb:declare-style-change font=&quot;Geneva&quot; bold=&quot;0&quot; italic=&quot;0&quot; underline=&quot;0&quot; size=&quot;10&quot; height=&quot;13&quot; ascent=&quot;10&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;/&gt;

This is used within a XSL stylesheet, within the composition of a <text> element.

A first (optionally empty) declare-style-change must be used at the beginning of the <text> element, before any text has been introduced.

It allows to declare that some aspects of the style has changed. All attributes are optional, defaults as indicated.

This must be matched by a call to <tb:implement-style-change/> outside the <text> element.

implement-style-change

<tb:implement-style-change/>

This is used within a XSL stylesheet, immediately after the composition of a <text> element.

It will insert a <styles> element at the current position, containing all necessary style run specification, as defined in the tb:declare-style-change elements.
