Re: Command Line XSLT programs

Dru - I was going to suggest you have a look at the command line XSLT parser from Microsoft.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnxslgen/html/msxsl.asp?frame=true

I myself wrote some batch stuff round this. But i think you mean you want the XML docs to be first converged and then transformed (as you mention msxsl below).
In this case write a simple include template and iterate this, then transform.

cheers,
steven.
