How to apply .xsl style that is in microsoft word to soffice.

Originall the is put 'some.xslwithin theStyledirectory located within theResourcesdirectory which is in theContents` directory of the mac windows word.

I wonder if it is possible to load/ convert this word plugin/style to libre office?

This is the guide - more-details

I don’t think it is relevant to system though as it is like a plugin/ template feature.

But here is the spec>

and here is the sample xsl

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:b="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/bibliography" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

  <!-- Variable containing all necessary data for a certain style of bibliography. -->
  <xsl:variable name="data">

</xsl:stylesheet>

at least we have a little idea of what we are talking about :neutral_face:

now your first message being (still) almost unreadable, I guess you should expand a bit (for non Word specialists) what you expect this xsl to be applied on.

maybe this : LibreOffice SDK Guide: Chapter 50. Importing XML - The Document Foundation Wiki

Sorry my bad, it seems like it is not clear enough.
It probably is a 2020+ word specific feature.
MS word has a feature to import/add this “.xsl” file into the app resource directory to act as a plugin.
Like for example, the xml I copied/show is a plugin/template that can auto generate the reference with a small ui at the sidebar of the app.

I assume libre office does not have such feature? Or maybe it does but has libreoffice own implementation?

Maybe some help in
