+# BuildXSLT
+
+…is a simple XSLT build system for InputXSLT based applications.
+
+It aims to provide a foundation for building more complex applications such as a fully fledged [static site generator] by enabling users to define _XML Makefiles_ instead of manually calling single [InputXSLT] transformations.
+
+The source code of BuildXSLT is available on both my [Github] profile and [cgit].
+
+## Current features
+
+* processing tasks contained within _XML Makefiles_
+* generating single transformations
+* generating chained transformations
+* using files or embedded XML-trees as transformation input
+
+## Usage example
+
+While BuildXSLT offers enough flexibility for all kinds of different XSLT based generation tasks it was specifically built to cater for the requirements of the [static site generator] this site is built with. As such its _XML Makefile_ makes for the best demonstration of what one can do with BuildXSLT:
+
+~~~
+<task type="generate">
+ <input mode="embedded">
+ <datasource>
+ <meta>
+ <source>source</source>
+ <target>target</target>
+ </meta>
+ </datasource>
+ </input>
+ <transformation mode="chain">
+ <link>detail/list.xsl</link>
+ <link>detail/plan.xsl</link>
+ <link>detail/process.xsl</link>
+ <link>detail/summarize.xsl</link>
+ </transformation>
+</task>
+~~~
