Hello, I use XSLStyle that I first released publicly in 2004: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/#xslstyle pros - enforces what I think are good stylesheet writing rules such as nameespace-qualified global names, types on all functions, global variables and parameters, documentation for every global construct and every parameter - uses either DocBook or DITA for embedded documentation, rather than dreaming up yet another documentation vocabulary; this allows very complete documentation (tables, graphics, etc.) in the stylesheet - documents every stylesheet fragment of the entire import tree just by formatting the top-most fragment - includes an alphabetized hyperlinked index of all named globals across the entire import tree cons - some stylesheet writers resent having to document everything before checking in their modules to a source code control system (though I don't think that's a problem with the method, but a mindset for the stylesheet writer) - the resulting documentation doesn't (yet) look very flashy because I'm not a graphic artist ... this is being addressed soon because I have had the contributions of two users (who are members of this mail list) to help spiffy up the appearance of the generated documentation 2) Is there a need (and a chance) for the xsl community to focus on one singe tool, may be to encourage the software vendors to implement support? I doubt it. Different strokes for different folks. I'm amazed to see how little documentation there is in stylesheets I'm asked to work on. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . .
