These are XSL Java extensions for use with the DocBook XML
stylesheets and the Saxon and Xalan-Java XSLT engines.

This README file provides only very minimal documentation on the
DocBook Project XSL Java extensions. For more complete information
on the features the extensions provide and on how to use them
with the DocBook Project XSL stylesheets, see Bob Stayton's book
"DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide", available online at:

  http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/

How to use the DocBook XSL Java extensions

To use the DocBook XSL Java extensions, add the absolute paths to
the saxon65.jar and xalan27.jar files to your Java classpath and
process your documents with either the Saxon or Xalan-Java XSLT
engines and with the value of the DocBook XSL stylesheets
"use.extensions" parameter set to 1.
