Use cases and examination of XML technologies to process MS Word documents...
summary
Explores a working pipeline that unzips DOCX, runs XProc and XSLT3 steps, applies SchemaTron validations to detect 100s of style and numbering problems, writes findings back as Word comments and then runs automated fixes. Uses a function library invoked via dynamic function evaluation (Saxon evaluate/higher‑order functions) to remove manual numbering, swap styles to a master template, and reapply numbering; prototype runs end‑to‑end and successfully fixes many issues though function visibility and Saxon edition require care.
