If you look into XEP's main jar (e.g. xep372_trial.jar), you can find the preprocessor stylesheet under com/renderx/xep/pre/processor.xsl. This stylesheet is the main reason why XT is always needed in the classpath to run XEP. > Does anybody here have an idea of what exactly is meant by this? It performs the most trivial preprocessing: strips namespaces, expands some shorthands, normalizes tables with no fo:table-row, etc. etc; things that are more easily expressed/debugged in XPath than in Java.
