Version 4.0.1 of Umbraco - coming anytime now - feature two new improvements to working with XSLT:

  1. Automated references to XSLT Extension namespaces
  2. XSLT Visualizer

In this short video I'm demonstrating the two new features:

    As I work so much with XSLT this will be a handy addition for writing XSLT.

    Wauv, and I thought 4.0.1 would only contain minor stuff.

    This is sweet stuff!

    Really, really nice!

    Now I want a way to not only pick $currentPage but also manipulate other incoming macro and template parameters. Maybe even look for things like umbraco.library:RequestQueryString int the xslt and be able to set those.

    looking forward to it; xslt has been a stuggle for me syntactically.

    just having a video in which you talk about developing in umbraco is a big boost.

    I can't see the screencast anymoore, I've tried both FF and IE. It's just the missing image red cross. I could see it earlier today. Is the link broken or is it just here?

    **Excellent** work Neils, I remember this being mentioned as an idea back at Codegarden 08. A great feature :)

    Just *Brilliant* !

    One tiny improvement would be that if no xslt is selected, it should asume the whole document...
    Saves a CTRL-A each time
