TAN's extensive function library, which drives the validation process, provides a
foundation for application development in XSLT. If you are writing an XSLT
application, simply point via <xsl:include>
or
<xsl:import>
to functions/TAN-function-library.xsl
.
That's it. You now have access to the complete TAN function library. If you are
developing for XQuery, you can access any of the functions via
fn:transform()
, taking care to set up that function's parameters
correctly. See https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#func-transform.
Some relatively complex TAN functions may be affected by the settings in the
subdirectory parameters
. Otherwise, the functions have been designed to
be as orthogonal as possible.
There are so many TAN functions, you may not know where to begin. Discovering what is available will take some time and study. You could simply browse the XSLT files that constitute the function library. Or you can use the autocomplete feature in Oxygen's editing mode. Either method will provide a complete but perhaps chaotic experience. These guidelines provide a more accessible starting point. Begin with the grouped index: the section called “Functions by group”. Find a topic or function you are interested in, and follow the links.
