This template kit combines XSLT utilities we regularly use in our projects. Some templates require a specific XML structure provided by our Kirby XSLT plugin. If you are working with Symphony CMS, have a look at the dedicated branch.

The kit requires the EXSLT extension, http://exslt.org/.

All templates are namespaced, please add the following to your stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:kit="https://hananils.de/xslt/kit">

All templates can be applied using <xsl:apply-templates /> using the matching mode:

• kit:transform: If you apply this mode to a HTML structure, nothing changes in the output by default. But this mode allows you to offset the headline hierarchy, e. g. changing a h1 to a h3, or to match templates to elements allowing custom transforms. This is very helpful when you are dealing with HTML sources generated using Markdown. For more information see http://www.getsymphony.com/learn/articles/view/html-ninja-technique/.
• kit:dates: Formats Kirby XSLT date nodes to a human readable date.
• kit:dates-time: Formats Kirby XSLT date nodes to a human readabel time.
• kit:dates-range: Creates human readable date and time ranges from a Kirby XSLT date node.
• kit:dates-years: Creates human readable year ranges from a node set containing year values.
• kit:list: Converts node sets to list, e. g. using a comma separator.
• kit:links: Creates human friendly links.
• kit:email: Creates a HTML link from a textual e-mail node.
• kit:name: Formats a name with title, prefix and suffix.

There is also a language template containing information about the current Kirby content language as well as translation strings.
