RE: [xsl] Output XML doc with XSL doc name in comment

[Mike Ferrando <mikeferrando@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear T. Schutzer W. and Michael Kay,
After looking over your suggestions (I don't have the latest version
of Saxon so that means [aka Tom W.] I can't really do it properly) I
devised a little cheat way of doing it.

My clip in Note Tab Pro that runs Saxon repeats the xsl file name for
the bat file as such:

clip:
^!dos c:\workshop\batch\sax.bat ^%directory% ^%htmlfile%  ^%xmlfile%
^%xslfile% "replace=^%xslname%"

Bat:
c:\workshop\saxoninstant\saxon.exe -w0 -o  ..\%1\%2 ..\%1\%3
..\shared\styles\%4  %5
pause

XSL:
<xsl:param name="replace"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:comment>
	<xsl:value-of select="concat(' Transformed with ', $replace, '.xsl
')"/>
</xsl:comment>
	<LLL>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="//*"/>
	</LLL>
</xsl:template>

Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!--Transformed with Mytools26.xsl-->

This is cheating of course.

Thanks,
Mike Ferrando
