B.73 XsltTask

With XsltTask, you can run a XSLT transformation on an XML file. Actually, XsltTask extends CopyTask, so you can use all the elements allowed there.

XsltTask is implemented by means of the XsltFlter and hence relies on PHP5 XSLT support via (libxslt) which must be available in php5. The XsltTask is equivalent to running command line xsltproc since that is a frontend for libxslt.
