# 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 external modules such as [StaticXSLT]
* 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 module definition file and the _XML Makefile_ used to call it makes for the best demonstration of what one can do with _BuildXSLT_:
```xsl
<transformation mode="chain">
<link>src/steps/list.xsl</link>
<link>src/steps/plan.xsl</link>
<link>src/steps/process.xsl</link>
<link>src/steps/summarize.xsl</link>
</transformation>
```
```xsl
<task type="module">
<input mode="embedded">
<datasource>
<meta>
<source>source</source>
<target>target</target>
</meta>
</datasource>
</input>
<definition mode="file">[StaticXSLT.xml]</definition>
</task>
```
