1.25 <h1>Developing Web Applications with XSLTools</h1>
1.26 +
1.27 <p>This documentation introduces the XSLTools package and the XSLForms
1.28 -framework for developing forms-based Web applications using Python, <a

1.30 -libxml2, libxslt and (optionally) <a

1.35 <h2>Setting Up</h2>
1.36 +
1.37 <p>First of all, let us assume that the XSLTools distribution has been
1.38 unpacked and now sits in the <code>XSLTools-0.1</code> directory.</p>
1.39 +
1.40 <p>Before we begin, we must make sure that the XSLTools package is
1.41 available
1.42 to Python. The easiest way to do this is to change into the <code>XSLTools-0.1</code>
1.43 directory and to run the <code>setup.py</code>
1.44 script provided with the version of Python you are going to be using
1.45 (possibly as a privileged user like <code>root</code>):</p>
1.46 +
1.47 <pre>cd XSLTools-0.1<br />python setup.py install</pre>
1.48 +
1.49 <p>If you don't want to install XSLTools in this way, or if you can't
1.50 do so
1.51 because you don't have <code>root</code> privileges, you can just make
1.52 sure
1.53 that the <code>XSLTools-0.1</code> directory sits on your
1.54 <code>PYTHONPATH</code>.</p>
1.55 +
1.56 <h2>Viewing the API Documentation</h2>
1.57 +
1.58 <p>The API documentation for use in conjunction with this
1.59 guide can be found inside the <a href="../apidocs/index.html"><code>apidocs</code></a>
1.60 directory within the <code>XSLTools-0.1</code> directory. Of course,
1.61 it is always possible to view the API documentation
1.62 -within Python by importing modules (such as <a
1.63 - href="../apidocs/public/XSLOutput-module.html"><code>XSLOutput</code></a>)
1.64 +within Python by importing modules (such as <a href="../apidocs/public/XSLOutput-module.html"><code>XSLOutput</code></a>)
1.65 and using Python's built-in <code>help</code> function.</p>
