getXSLTemplates: Get information about an XSL document
In omegahat/XDocTools: Tools for working with XML and XSL documents

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

These functions allow the caller to discover what templates, parameters and variables are defined within a given XSL file. They act as a table of contents for the file.

Note that these are quite different from related functions available via the Sxslt package. The functions here work on the XML documents defining the XSL stylesheet. The function getTemplate works at run-time when an XSL stylesheet is being used to transform an XML document. There we can see all the templates (after include's and import's) and ask the XSL engine to match a node as it would during the processing.
