The first steps with the Java-based tools

The first test runs with these tools will also not be too exciting, but rest assured that it will work all the same if we later use "real" documents like DocBook XML documents.

Change to the directory that contains the test files that we created previously and run the following commands in your shell (the backslashes at the end of the lines denote continuation of the line - don't type them in):

C:\user\myself>java -cp "C:\Programs\java\xt.jar;C:\Programs\java\xp.jar" \
com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver test.xml test.xsl > test.html
C:\user\myself>java -cp "C:\Programs\java\xalan.jar;C:\Programs\java\xerces.jar" \
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in test.xml -xsl test.xsl -out test.html
C:\user\myself>java -cp "C:\Programs\java\saxon.jar;C:\Programs\java\saxon-fop.jar; \
C:\Programs\java\saxon-jdom.jar" com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet test.xml test.xsl \
-o test.html

View the resulting test.html file in your favourite browser. You should see a nicely formatted HTML representation of your XML document.
