nxslt - A .NET XSLT Command Line Utility

nxslt - free feature-rich .NET XSLT command line utility

"nxslt is a free feature-rich command line utility that allows to perform XSL Transformations (XSLT) using .NET Framework's XSLT implementation - System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform class. nxslt is backwards compatible with functionality and command line options provided by Microsoft's MSXSL.EXE Command Line Transformation Utility with a tiny difference: unlike msxsl.exe, nxslt does not support specifying start mode. In addition, nxslt has some distinct advanced features, like support for the XInclude 1.0, embedded stylesheets, custom URI resolving, multiple result documents, custom extension functions, built-in rich library of the EXSLT and the EXSLT.NET extenstion functions etc ..."

I need XSLT command line transforms just often enough to not remember how I did it last time... Which means it is a perfect post to my remote memory store. ;)

This looks like a pretty darn cool OSS utility, which I will have to give a try the next time I need to do some transforms. One thing I like is that it seems well documented for a OSS project. This will help a good deal if I only use it every once and a while.
