The <xslt> element

The xslt element of the configuration file contains properties specific to XSLT. Remember that these are defaults, they can always be overridden for specific queries or transformations. An attribute whose value is set to a zero-length string is ignored, the effect is the same as omitting the attribute.

Attribute

Effect

messageReceiver

Handles documents written using xsl:result-document

recoveryPolicy

recoverWithWarnings|recoverSilently|fail

Indicates how XSLT recoverable errors are handled (for example, ambiguous template rules)

schemaAware

true|false

Indicates whether stylesheet should be compiled to be able to handle schema-typed input, even if they contain no xsl:import-schema declaration
