| <h2><a name="style">Style</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>Process a set of documents via XSLT.</p> |
| <p>This is useful for building views of XML based documentation, |
| or in generating code.</p> |
| <p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being copied. This can be |
| done with the <i>includes</i>, <i>includesfile</i>, <i>excludes</i>, <i>excludesfile</i> and <i>defaultexcludes</i> |
| attributes. With the <i>includes</i> or <i>includesfile</i> attribute you specify the files you want to |
| have included by using patterns. The <i>exclude</i> or <i>excludesfile</i> attribute is used to specify |
| the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And |
| finally with the <i>defaultexcludes</i> attribute, you can specify whether you |
| want to use default exclusions or not. See the section on <a |
| href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>, on how the |
| inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.</p> |
| <p>This task forms an implicit <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a> and supports all |
| attributes of <code><fileset></code> (<code>dir</code> becomes <code>basedir</code>) |
| as well as the nested <code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code> |
| and <code><patternset></code> elements.</p> |
| <p>Style supports the use of a <param> element which is used to pass values |
| to an <xsl:param> declaration.</p> |
| <p>If you want to use Xalan-J 1 or XSL:P, you also need Ant's optional.jar</p> |

| <h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3> |
| <h4>classpath</h4> |
| <p>The classpath to load the processor from can be specified via a |
| nested <code><classpath></code>, as well - that is, a |
| <a href="../using.html#path">path</a>-like structure.</p> |
| <h4>param</h4> |
| <p>Param is used to pass a parameter to the XSL stylesheet.</p> |
| <h4>Parameters</h4> |

| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |

| extension="html" style="style/apache.xsl"> |
| <param name="date" expression="'07-01-2000'"/> |
| </style></pre> |
