XML Spy includes full support for XSL Transformations and can either use the MSXML module or any external XSLT processor for this purpose.

If you are using Internet Explorer 5 (i.e. the MSXML module) for XSLT processing, you must specify, if the resulting output is to be generated as and XML-compliant document (such as XHTML or WML), or if you are generating non-XML text files.

If you are using an external XSL processor, you must specify a command-line string that is to be executed by XML Spy in order to initiate the XSL Transformation. In this case, please use the following variables to build your command-line string:

%1the XML instance document that is to be processed  
%2the output file that is to be generated  
%3the XSL Stylesheet to be used (optional, if the document contains an <?xsl-stylesheet ...?> reference  

You can also choose to show the result of the external XSLT processor directly within XML Spy in a message box.

Please see the technical background information ons XSLT Processors for further details.
