Description:
Libxslt is an XSLT C library developed for the Gnome project. XSLT itself is a
an XML language to define transformation for XML. Libxslt is based on libxml2
the XML C library developed for the Gnome project. It also implements most
of the EXSLT set of processor-portable extensions functions and some of
Saxon's evaluate and expressions extensions.

This package does not port the full interface of Libxslt. It only supports the most
important features of the library and is based mainly on code found in the
xsltproc program (command-line utility).
