[Mono-devel-list] Functional XSLT resolved to uri transformation example?

The basic idea is:

using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Xsl;
...
XmlDocument xsl = new XmlDocument();
xsl.Load("path/to/stylesheet.xsl");
XslTransform transform = new XslTransform();
transform.Load(xsl);
...
TextWriter textwriter = new StreamWriter(new
     FileStream("path/to/output.html", FileMode.Create));
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(textwriter);
XmlDocument xmlfile = new XmlDocument();
xmlfile.Load("path/to/document.xml");
transform.Transform(xmlfile, null, writer, null);
(and close the writers and streams)

Don't know what you mean.

Got that above.

You can run on the command line:

chown -R username.apache htmlpath

to recursively set the ownership of everything in the htmlpath directory.

Monodocs2HTML is a slightly complicated example of a program that does 
that (beware of wrapping):
http://svn.myrealbox.com/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=Mono%20SVN&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fmonodoc%2Ftools%2Fmonodocs2html.cs&rev=0&sc=0

If you happen to be doing this because you think running XSLT on-line to 
power a website would be too slow, it's actually very fast.  (Shameless 
plug alert.)  See: http://taubz.for.net/code/xpd

Good luck.
