Saxon availability
Requires Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE.
Notes on the Saxon implementation
Available since Saxon 8.5. This function is obsolescent: it is superseded by the fn:transform() function in XPath 3.1.
Details
This function takes as input a document containing an XSLT stylesheet, and produces as
output a compiled stylesheet suitable for use with the saxon:transform()
extension function.
The document node can be supplied as a call on the doc() function to read
the stylesheet from filestore (or from a remote URL), or it can be a variable containing
a stylesheet that has been constructed programmatically. If the document contains any
xsl:include or xsl:import declarations these will be
resolved in the usual way (relative to the base URI of the element that contains
them).
