In this reference, the following terms being unknown or having another meaning within XSLT/XPath are used. The following table contains the declarations of these terms:
|
Source document |
The source document is the document which shall be manipulated per XSM process. It must be a XML well-formed document. |
|---|---|
|
Manipulator sheet |
The manipulator sheet defines the manipulations which shall be performed in the source document. It must correspond to the XSM schema documented below. |
|
Manipulation instruction |
There are three types of manipulation instructions: delete, replace and add. A manipulator sheet consists of one or more manipulation instructions. |
Manipulation instruction: adds nodes to the source document starting from the node indicated in @node.
The nodes indicated in <xsm:content> are added as child, attribute and sibling nodes to each context node indicated in @node. The axis attribute determines on which axis the nodes are added starting from the context node.
The node set indicated in @node must not contain any attributes.
The adding is done by means of string operations. After the addition, the manipulated source document must comply with the standards of well-formed XML.

Value |
xs:string An absolute XPath expression. At the moment, only XPath 1.0 is supported. |
|
Description |

Value |
xs:integer |
Defines the nodes to be inserted into the source document for the manipulation instructions <xsm:add> and <xsm:replace>.
The <xsm:content> element may contain any elements and/or attributes. However, depending on the application, there may be restrictions by the manipulation instruction (e.g. that the element may only have attributes or only child nodes).
Manipulation instruction: deletes the nodes indicated in @node.

Value |
xs:integer |
The root element of the manipulator sheet.
The element contains any number of manipulation instructions.
|
Description |
Indicates the source document which shall be manipulated. If no document is indicated, the source document must be passed on to the XSM processor during the call. |
|---|---|
|
Use |
optional |
|
Value |
xs:anyURI The value must be an URI to the document. Relative paths reference to the document starting from the manipulator sheet. |
Manipulation instruction: replaces the nodes indicated in @node by the child/attribute nodes of the <xsm:content> element.
If the nodes indicated in @node are attribute nodes, they are replaced by the attributes of the <xsm:content> element. Otherwise, by the child nodes of the <xsm:content> element.
The node set indicated in @node must not be a mixture of attributes and non-attributes.
The replacing is done by means of string operations. After the replacement, the manipulated source document must comply with the standards of well-formed XML.
