- and log.
+ The configuration consists of six parts: torus,

- attribute xsldir
-
-
- Directory that is searched for XSL stylesheets. Stylesheets

-
-
- attribute element_transform
-
-
- Specifies the element that triggers retrieval and transform using

- attribute element_raw
-
-
- Specifies an element that triggers retrieval using the
