Package com.icl.saxon.style Description

This package provides classes for the various elements found in an XSL style sheet. These are invoked by the style sheet interpreter, com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet.

The stylesheet interpreter uses the Builder to build a tree representing the stylesheet, with custom classes used for each of its elements. These classes contain the functionality associated with processing each XSL element.

These classes are for internal use, and user-written applications will not need to refer to them directly, except when implementing extension elements. Extension elements must inherit from the class StyleElement.
