Online Documentation
This package contains source and binary code for a custom Ant task that can be used to invoke Saxon XSLT Transformations. The code is based closely on the standard Ant xslt task, but with additional options and parameters to control Saxon processing more precisely.
Documentation for the current release is available online:
Installing and Building
The software is available as a free-standing product as part of the Saxon project at SourceForge:
The download includes source and binary code. The XML master documentation can be obtained by downloading the saxon-resources file for the relevant release.
The code is open source. Although it is capable of invoking either Saxon-B or Saxon-SA, it contains no compile-time references to Saxon-SA code, so it should be possible both to compile it and run it without Saxon-SA being present.
