XProc Tab

When you create a new transformation scenario or edit an existing one, a configuration dialog box is displayed that allows you to customize the transformation with various options in several tabs.

The XProc tab contains the following options:

XProc URL: Specify the source XProc file to be used by the transformation. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing actions in the Browse drop-down list. This URL is resolved through the catalog resolver. If the catalog does not have a mapping for the URL, the file is used directly from its remote location.
Processor: Allows you to select the XProc engine to be used for the transformation. You can select the Add-on for Calabash XProc engine or a custom engine that is configured in the XProc Preferences page.
