Michael Kay,

I thank you for your reply.

I have questions regarding this.

1. Is it feasible to insert some xml statements in
place of <!-- --> comment statment?

2. I thought this tag command is similar to Java tag (doc) commands
like @author, @see and so on.

3. If we have some xml doc inside the xsl file, how the
developer will feel to do that documentation?

thanks and regards,
sundar

Horrible! Why invent your own markup syntax instead of using XML?

Use something like:

<doc:overview>This xsl page is used to calculate the 
              factorial of a given number</doc:overview>

Then you can use XSLT to manipulate the documentation.

Other people have done work on stylesheet annotation, I'm sure there's
something you can re-use but I can't point you to it.
