Using SVG to create separate images files

Question

I've previously processed XSLT to output single HTML files that were supposed to be viewed in a browser.

Now I was hoping if someone could outline would it be possible to use XML data and XSLT to create separate image files auto magically?

Answer 1

If your XSLT processor supports EXSLT, the exsl:document element will allow you to create multiple output files from a single input file.

AFAIK, only libxslt-based processors support this tag, currently, but this includes PHP 5 and, of course, xsltproc.

EDIT:

As you've found, XSLT 2.0 provides the similar xsl:result-document tag. The XSLT 2.0 processors I'm aware of are Saxon, Altova XML, and Gexslt/Gestalt.
