| <title>XSL Tools Preferences</title> |
| <para> |
| The XSL Preference pages has several sub sections. Each of these allow for configuration |
| of various aspects of the preferences. From the controlling of the default XSL processor |
| to be used during transformations. To extending the content assist support of the XPath |
| functions available in the XML editor. |

| <section id="XSLFeatures"> |
| <?dbhtml filename="preferences/xslfeatures.html" ?> |
| <title>Features</title> |
| <para> |
| The XSL Features preference page allows for the configuration of features for a particular |
| processor. XSL Tools comes with Xalan 2.7.0 by default. Adopters can extend and include |
| their own specific features for their own procesoors. An adopter could extend the tooling |
| to support XSLT 2.0 transformations, and features particular to that parser. |

| <para> |
| The <emphasis role="bold">Processor Type</emphasis> allows you to set features for a specific processor. In this case |
| this is for the processor that is being installed. XSL Tools comes with Xalan 2.7.0, and it is the only available |
| processor type by default. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| The feature table lists the features that are specific to the processor that was selected. As you |
| select each of the features, information regarding that feature and it's abilitis is displayed in the |
| description box. By clicking in the value column, next to the feature you want to set the value |
| for, the user can set the feature. |

| <title>Installed Processors</title> |
| <para> |
| The installed processors page lets you pick which of the installed XSLT processors will be used |
| by default. The default is the System Default Procesoor, but you can select any of the |
| available processors to be used as the default processor. |

| <title>Output Properties</title> |
| <para> |
| The various xsl processors support a wide variety of processor specific tweaks. However there |
| are several Standard processor features that all XSLT processors support. These options can be |
| set and will act as the defaults for all transformations unless they are specifically overriden by |
| the stylesheet or the launch configuration. |

| In addition to the Standard Output Properties, each XSLT processor can have processors |
| specific features. |

| <section id="XPathTemplates"> |
| <?dbhtml filename="preferences/xpathtemplates.html" ?> |
| <title>XPath Templates</title> |
| <para> |
| XPath template proposal is supported by the XSL Tooling project through the |
| built in template functionality of eclipse. Users and Adopters can add |
| their own specific xpath extensions for processor specific extensions. An |
| example would be to add the EXSLT extensions for proposal support. |
