WebHelp v17 with Saxon-PE in external OT?

[caval]

Simple question: The Oxygen online help states that Saxon-B 9.1.0.8 is a requirement for integrating webhelp into an external OT. We cannot use this version of Saxon in our external OT. Can we instead use Saxon-PE 9.6.x?

Thanks...!

Hello,

The short answer is yes, assuming you have a Saxon-PE license.
Saxon-B 9.1.0.8 is the minimum requirement for the WebHelp plugin, but not absolutely necessary. Saxon-HE will not work due to the lack of support for Java extensions when compared with Saxon-B, but Saxon-PE/EE 9.x can be used successfully.
