Hi Tim (Kev and others)
I've got a similar "problem". I've got a directory
hierarchy with XML files in it. I've got a selection
of XSLT files to process the XML files in the "root"
of the hierarchy (they do different things).
So, I've run a quick test with the <style> task and
it very successfully creates a .html file in the
same directory, or a directed directory (using destdir),
_however_ I want to mirror the XML directory hierarchy
with the "output".
Basically, I want to be able to do a single <style>
with an input files of "**/*.xml" and then have it
generate the output hierarchy of HTML files.
Has anybody done this ?
If so, do you want to share your <style> task with
me ? ;-)
If not, does anybody want to have a punt about how
I can do this.
Cheers,
-- jon
