XSLT 2

[b-degryse]

Any chance on XmlNotepad supporting xslt 2?

No plans, do you know of a good .NET implementation of XSLT 2.0 ?

I'm not very familiar with .NET, but what about XQSharp or XmlPrime as it's called now? Not free, though. Maybe XPath2.Net?

The current version of XSLT is version 3.0, support for .NET framework has been around for years through Saxon-HE .NET. I think the README there talks about XSLT 2 but Saxon since version 9.8 is an XSLT 3 processor.

Have done a prototype of using Saxon 10, XSLT 3 processor, instead of XslCompiledTransform, XSLT 1 processor, in XmlNotepad: https://github.com/martin-honnen/XmlNotepad/tree/Xslt3Branch.

Doesn't support the XInclude reader used with XslCompiledTransform and of course, as Saxon never supported that, doesn't support C# code as embedded msxsl:script in XSLT, although the much richer function library of XSLT 3 (e.g. regular expression support, xs:date and xs:dateTime plus durations, parse-json) might allow it easily not to need C# for many stuff but just write pure XSLT 3/XPath 3.1 code.
