XProc Steps

source (primary)

result (primary)

match (required): XPath expression

attribute-name (required)

attribute-value (required)

Adds an attribute/value to the element(s) identified by the match pattern

source (primary)

result (primary)

all (boolean, default is false)

relative (boolean, default is true)

Adds an xml:base attribute to the root element, its value is the URL of the document on the source port. Use "all" to add xml:base to all the elements in the document.

source (primary)

alternate

result

fail-if-not-equal (boolean, default is false)

Compares the document on the source port with the document on the alternate port.

source (primary, sequence)

result (primary)

limit (integer, defaults to 0)

Count the sequence of documents on the source input port. Use limit to cutoff the counting (limit=0 means count all)

source (primary)

result (primary)

match (required): XPath expression

Deletes the element(s) and/or attribute(s) identified by the XPath expression.

result (primary)

path (required): URI; location of the directory

include-filter: regex expression

exclude-filter: regex expression

Produces a list of the file names and folder names of a specified directory. Can restrict the listed files/folders using the include and exclude filters.

source (*not* primary)

result (primary, sequence)

code (required): QName

Generates a dynamic error. The error message is what you put on the source input port.
