We benefit more from documenting why certain functionality was implemented, or coded in a particular way in an XSLT stylesheet, than from the typical “what the code does” comment. K7:XSLTDocEngine is a personal project (non-commercial) to create XSLT stylesheet documentation from both inline stylesheet comments and documentation living outside the stylesheet. The external documentation lives in XML files, written in a variant of DocBook, that are generated by script and populated by XSLT analysts. These files are then used to generate configurable HTML documentation that provides the text as well as 1) hyperlinks to named templates, global variables and functions, imported/included templates and 2) reports of code violations such as potentially overridden functions, single-expressions, unused variables, and the like. Code violation criteria are defined in user-configurable rule sets.
