EXProc rebooted. A bonus MarkupMonday post, the EXProc reboot has been deployed. And shipped starting in XML Calabash 3.0.34, just after Christmas. #XProc #MarkupMonday
#XProc
Sneak peek. I’ve put up a preview of what I’m thinking about for a rebooted exproc.org website. #XProc #MarkupMonday
A compact syntax for XProc?. Further explorations in my long, possibly fruitless search for a compact syntax for XProc pipelines. #XML #XProc #MarkupMonday
#xproc 3.0: Is it possible to set the encoding to UTF-8 when loading a document?
Concrete example: XHTML document without charset meta element. Does anyone have any idea?
#Balisage = https://www.balisage.net/ - seems to be going strong; it’s a conference about the theory behind, and practice of, document markup, especially #XML and related technologies such as #XProc #XSLT #XQuery #Schematron #RelaxNG #XPath #TextEncodingInitiative and many more.
XML was badly hurt by people applying it to everything in sight, but for what XML was designed for and is good at, there is nothing better.
Updating dependencies. I didn’t intend to spend all morning fussing with dependencies, but at least I got a weblog posting out of it. And maybe I’ve tossed some stones off the path for next time. #XProc #XMLCalabash
XProc tips and tricks. Maybe it’s time to start collecting “tips and tricks” for XProc pipelines? Perhaps I should revamp exproc.org? Tip: how can I make an empty sequence into an empty document? #XProc
Our Christine Windeln and @xporc presented a TeX-powered PrintCSS formatter at @markupuk . Great achievement by Christine who developed this tool as part of her bachelor's thesis.

Migrating (some things) to Codeberg. It’s the switching costs that get you. #XProc #XMLCalabash
Pipelineception. Pipelines inside pipelines with pipelines using pipelines for pipelines to do pipelines because pipelines. Pipelines! #XProc #XMLCalabash
A sensible consistency. Making common things easy with a little XML Calabash hack. #XProc #XMLCalabash
Snapshot this. As my holiday winds down (Happy New Year, by the way!), I’ve published one more XML Calabash 3.x release. I’ve also started pushing them to a snapshots repository. #XProc #XMLCalabash
Invisible XML in production. Using iXML to parse a command line interface. #XProc #XMLCalabash #InvisibleXML
The Monitoring API. That sure is a dull title. If I cared about “engagement”, I’d find a way to stick “interactive XProc pipeline debugger” or “Schematron assertions in pipelines” into it. But I don’t, really. Care that is. ’s all true, though. #XProc #XMLCalabash
Alpha6. The story of XML Calabash 3.x has some twists and turns, but the last few alphas have passed all the tests and it’s finally possible to start thinking about some of the fun things. #XProc #XMLCalabash
I just noticed that GitHub recognizes #XProc as an implementation language. Nice!
XProc users should check out this project: Erik Siegel just started XProcRef, an extensive and user-oriented description of all XProc 3.0 steps.

It runs! (Again.). Not well. And not much. But not nothing! #XProc #XMLCalabash
