Re: [xsl] Using saxon-js to run a javasscript function from XSLT at the command line

Use the ixsl:call() function documented at

https://www.saxonica.com/saxonjs/documentation3/index.html#!ixsl-extension/fu
nctions/call

You can also use ixsl:window() to get access to the global Javascript object.

A better starting point might be

l

I don't know where you got the idea of saxon:script from. You don't include JS
functions within your stylesheet, you include them within the calling JS
application. The simplest thing is to pass in a Javascript object to the
stylesheet as a parameter, then the XPath code can call its methods.

> Stylesheet and JS file are in the same folder. I'm using the stylsheet as
the data file as the stylesheet isn't really doing any processing. I suspect
this isn't correct, but something is needed to connect the stylesheet to the
JS file like this
