Process a set of documents via XSLT.
This is useful for building views of XML based documentation, or for generating code.
Note: This task depends on external libraries not included in the Ant distribution. See Library Dependencies for more information.
It is possible to refine the set of files that are being processed. This can be done with the includes, includesfile, excludes, excludesfile and defaultexcludes attributes. With the includes or includesfile attribute you specify the files you want to have included by using patterns. The exclude or excludesfile attribute is used to specify the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And finally with the defaultexcludes attribute, you can specify whether you want to use default exclusions or not. See the section on directory based tasks, on how the inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.
This task forms an implicit FileSet and supports all attributes of <fileset> (dir becomes basedir) as well as the nested <include>, <exclude> and <patternset> elements.
This task supports the use of a nested <param> element which is used to pass values to an <xsl:param> declaration.
This task supports the use of a nested xmlcatalog element which is used to perform Entity and URI resolution
<style> and <xslt> refer to the same Ant task and can be used interchangeably.
If you want to use Xalan-J 1 or XSL:P, you also need Ant's optional.jar
