Currently, to run the tests, the XSpec description document is transformed into an XSLT stylesheet which imports the stylesheet being tested. Running this stylesheet results in an XML document that holds the results, which is then transformed into an HTML report. The two stylesheets involved in this process are:

• generate-xspec-tests.xsl, to transform the XSpec document into XSLT
• format-xspec-report.xsl, to transform the XML report into HTML

Two scripts are provided that will perform this pipeline for you:

• xspec.bat for Windows
• xspec.sh for Mac OS X (might work on linux, but untested)

To run the script, use the command line:

> xspec filename

James Sulak has written a guide about integrating XSpec into Oxygen.

There is also a XProc pipeline for running the tests, again from James Sulak.

If you develop more scripts (eg ant pipelines), please share them.
