RE: [xsl] Self-analysing stylesheet

Hi,

I tried replying to this through my webmail, look like it didn't go through.

Anyway - Altova's xmlspy 2008 has a great feature to handle multiple
stylesheets.

As for a sourceforge project? I created a program (free) called ACM For
Saxon, which was inspired by Kernow. ACM for Saxon uses Saxon's 2.0
xslt/xquery processor on a .NET platform. It also provides many other
features. One of which loads a stylesheet into a treeview along with any
imported/included stylesheets.

Here are the docs: http://www.aviationcontentmanagement.com/acmforsaxon/

If anyone is interested in beta testing, I'll post the program.

Regards,

Phil V

I think they are just after some metadata about the stylesheets - what
imports/includes what, what elements are matched, where named templates are
called from etc

I've had a similar requirement after being faced with large and nasty old
1.0 messes where successions of Java/C# devs with a hint (if that) of xslt
knowledge have butchered them over several years...

In the end just stepping through the code was the only way to get an
understanding of it.  A tool that generated the above would be really
useful... a new sourceforge project anyone?
