This didn't work for me on my browsers (FF/Chrome/Safari) on Mac, apparently XSLT only works there when accessed through HTTP:

    $ python3 -m http.server --directory .
    $ open http://localhost:8000/blog.xml
I remember long hours using XSLT to transform custom XML formats into some other representation that was used by WXWindows in the 2000s, maybe I should give it a shot again for Web :)





> --directory .

Huh, neat! Did’t know it supported that. (python3 -m http.server will default to current directory anyway though)

Yes! I often use a command like this to test my statically generated website locally using a command like this:

  python3 -m http.server -d _site/
