Does anybody know how to use the ruby-xslt library?

I’ve managed to get it installed, at least “gem query list” thinks that  
it is installed.

However, none of the examples I’ve seen (included with library code)  
work correctly.

I’m not sure what to “require ‘here’”?

I’ve tried many variations, including (but not limited to)…

require ‘xml/xslt’  
require ‘…/xslt’  
require ‘xslt’  
require ‘ruby-xslt’

and others, but nothing works.

Any have a clue?

Regards,

Andy K.

According to the RDoc:

require ‘xml/libxml’

should work (make sure you’ve required rubygems first).

Hello,

I am using it successfully in XSPF for Ruby  
([http://xspf.rubyforge.org](http://xspf.rubyforge.org)). Actually, I am de gem packager as the  
author does not provide a gem.

Take a look at the xspf.rb file in XSPF for Ruby and you’ll see how it  
works. You need to require ‘xml/xslt’.

Thanks guys,

I ended up doing…

require ‘xml/libxml’  
require ‘xml/libxslt’

… turns out I needed to gem install libxslt seperately. Although it’s  
strange to me: since I tried using libxslt methods but after some  
investigation I found I had a ruby-xslt object afterall.

Ideally I’d spend time getting to the bottom but work has deadlines.

Oops, ignore my post (just goes to show you shouldn’t post while busy
