7 The XSL Preference pages has several sub sections. Each of these allow for configuration
8 of various aspects of the preferences. From the controlling of the default XSL processor
9 to be used during transformations. To extending the content assist support of the XPath
10 functions available in the XML editor.

21 <para>
22 The XSL Features preference page allows for the configuration of features for a particular
23 processor. XSL Tooling comes with Xalan 2.7.0 by default. Adopters can extend and include
24 their own specific features for their own procesoors. An adopter could extend the tooling
25 to support XSLT 2.0 transformations, and features particular to that parser.

34 The <emphasis role="bold">Processor Type</emphasis> allows you to set features for a specific processor. In this case
35 this is for the processor that is being installed. XSL Tooling comes with Xalan 2.7.0, and it is the only available
36 processor type by default.

38 <para>
39 The feature table lists the features that are specific to the processor that was selected. As you
40 select each of the features, information regarding that feature and it's abilitis is displayed in the
41 description box. By clicking in the value column, next to the feature you want to set the value
42 for, the user can set the feature.

63 The various xsl processors support a wide variety of processor specific tweaks. However there
64 are several Standard processor features that all XSLT processors support. These options can be
65 set and will act as the defaults for all transformations unless they are specifically overriden by
66 the stylesheet or the launch configuration.
