sweet! Looks great
Ta!
So I agree it is nice - I implemented mine using code-fu but it looks like you used pure xslt ? If so I like ;)
Yes, pure XSLT.
The only "funky" bit is the "attribute parameter substitution" code which took a little effort to put together.
I haven't used it widely yet - have you ? Can you tell us if there was any problems brought up?
I've been using Ant and XSLT to create some websites - mostly technology overkill, but a good way to learn. The templates have made it really simple to write the build files for each site.
FWIW, here are the sites:

I've also prototyped the templating on our production build system here at work and it seems to work well. However, since the project team here "expires" on 28 February, I won't be migrating those changes into production.
The only Issues I ran across were these two:
-- Since you can replace a parameter with anything, sometimes I replace "${srcDir}" with "${baseDir}/someplace". Without careful attention to parameter names you can cause some havoc with not getting what you expected. The solution is to ensure that your parameter names are unique and don't match your property names.
-- There currently is no way to embed your own content in the middle of the template
eg: if you write this
<myTemplate param="value" anotherParm="anotherValue> <task1/> <task2/> </myTemplate>
then the content of the node (the two tasks) is omitted.
I have some ideas about adding this functionality but haven't had a go yet.
Cheers, Bevan.
