XSLT and XPath Reference

This book doesn't contain reference material for XSLT or XPath. Doug Tidwell's XSLT (O'Reilly) does a good job with its reference material, and I recommend you get a copy of that book. The download for this book offers a small Java program called Ox that gives you access to reference information at the command prompt (in examples/Ox). For example, if you have a recent Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on you computer, you can enter a line such as the following at a command or shell prompt:

java -jar ox.jar xsl:text

Ox will then return information about the XSLT instruction element text on your screen. You'll learn more about how to use Ox in Chapter 18.
