Gems: gem install libxsl-ruby Download: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=495](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=495) Docs: [http://libxsl.rubyforge.org/](http://libxsl.rubyforge.org/) Brief description: Libxsl-Ruby provides libxslt bindings for Ruby. libxslt is a very fast XSLT engine based on libxml2 (the XML C library developed for the Gnome project).

Libxsl-Ruby builds on (and requires) Libxml-Ruby ([http://libxml-rubyforge.org](http://libxml-rubyforge.org)). If not downloading via gems you will need to install libxml-ruby before use. This is part of an ongoing effort to revive the Libxml/Libxsl-Ruby projects with the help of original author Sean C… ---

We’re pretty happy to have a release of both libs out now, and have gotten some interesting feedback already so things are looking pretty good 🙂 I’m glad I volunteered, it’s been a great way for me to learn the Ruby/C API. ---
