Overview

XSLT syntax highlighting

This is an implementation of syntax highlighting as an extension module for XSLT processors, so if you have e.g. article about programming written in DocBook, code examples can be automatically syntax highlighted during the XSLT processing phase.

Usage

This tool is to be used from an XSLT stylesheet. It can not be used as a stand-alone tool. This tool depends on a binding to a with an XSLT processor like Xalan or Saxon (both 6.5, 8.5+, 9+). More information on how to use this tool can be found in this document.
