How can we use EXSLT without downloading its source?

Question

XSLTSL seems to claim that we can use EXSLT without downloading its source:

Import or include either the main stylesheet, or the stylesheet module you wish to use, directly from the library website; http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/modules/. The modules directory always contains the latest stable release.

I've tried this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:import href="http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/modules/string.xsl"/>
  <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="str:to-upper">
      <xsl:with-param name="text">hello world</xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

But its not working. I don't seem to be able to use EXSLT without downloading its source.

Is there anyway to use EXSLT without downloading its source?

Answer 1

As is explaind in Using the library, you need to download it and

<xsl:import href="stdlib.xsl"/>

import it into your xslt script.

Btw, as an alternative you can also use the xslt translate function:

translate(value,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz","ABCBCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")

It is a bit big to use in multiple places, but as long as you can place this in a template that shouldn't matter much.
