I am using Emacs to develop some applications which work on XML documents, and I want to configure it to achieve the following goals:

  1. When I am editing XML document, I want to have the possibility to invoke some function (e.g. M-x get-xpath) to get the xpath of element where cursor is currently placed.

  2. When I am editing an XML document, I want to have the possibility to invoke some function (e.g. M-x run-xslt-transformation /path/to/file/transform_01.xslt) to run an XSLT transformation on current buffer

Can someone help me with configuring my emacs, please?

best regards,
Lukasz

    I suggest installing nXML mode. It appears to support showing the current XML path as shown in http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/NxmlMode#toc11.

    On your second question, you should be able to set up your favorite XSLT processor, then use something like the Emacs command “shell-command-to-string” to run it whenever you like.
