RE: Output XML doc with XSL doc name in comment

xsl comment name
Dear T. Schutzer W. and Michael Kay,
After looking over your suggestions (I don't have the latest version
of Saxon so that means [aka Tom W.] I can't really do it properly) I
devised a little cheat way of doing it.

My clip in Note Tab Pro that runs Saxon repeats the xsl file name for
the bat file as such:

clip:
^!dos c:\workshop\batch\sax.bat ^%directory% ^%htmlfile%  ^%xmlfile%
^%xslfile% "replace=^%xslname%"

Bat:
c:\workshop\saxoninstant\saxon.exe -w0 -o  ..\%1\%2 ..\%1\%3
..\shared\styles\%4  %5
pause

XSL:
<xsl:param name="replace"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:comment>
	<xsl:value-of select="concat(' Transformed with ', $replace, '.xsl
')"/>
</xsl:comment>
	<LLL>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="//*"/>
	</LLL>
</xsl:template>

Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!--Transformed with Mytools26.xsl-->

This is cheating of course.

Thanks,
Mike Ferrando
