gslib: XSL utility templates

Greenstone 3 has a gslib.xsl file which defines a lot of utility templates. These can be called simply by <gslib:templatename/>. They are basically just shortcuts to things.

For example, gslib.xsl defines the following template:

<xsl:template name="siteName">
  <xsl:value-of select="/page/pageResponse/displayItemList/displayItem[@name='siteName']"/>
</xsl:template>

This can be called using <gslib:siteName/>

It also defines some common variables, which can be accessed by all template files, using $variablename.

gslib.xsl can be found in web/interfaces/default/transform/gslib.xsl.

Variables

$interface_name	The internal name of the current interface, eg 'default'
$library_name	The name of the library servlet, eg 'library'
