Introducing a new Integrated Test and Production Environment for XSLT

Qutoric Limited is pleased to announce the first public beta release of a new (Windows) Rich Client XSLT tool, CoherentWeb:



This tool is capable of handling up to 10,000 files at a time. It is designed to fill the gap between the typical XML IDE, on the one side, and the powerful, yet

complex, back-end XSLT processing frameworks, on the other.



In addition, the zip-file handling capabilities of this product, combined with an early implementation of the EXPath Zip Module, provide for a

compelling solution to produce, modify or analyse collections of documents conforming to standards like EPub, ODF, and OOXML.
