RE: [xsl] Pipelining 2 stylesheets

[Emmanuel Bégué <eb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Using Saxon you can encapsulate the first stylesheet and
redirect the output to be processed by the second one; you
only need to write this stylesheet:

  <xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";
    version="2.0">
    <xsl:include href="opendoc2xhtml.xsl"/>
    <xsl:output saxon:next-in-chain="xhtml2epub.xsl"/>
   </xsl:stylesheet>

and run your transformations against it, without any modification
to either opendoc2xhtml or xhtml2epub.

Regards,
EB
