This repository contains:

• XSL files for conversion from JATS XML to various other formats.
• A PHP class for using the XSL.

XML catalog

Add <nextCatalog catalog="file:///path/to/jats-conversion/schema/catalog.xml"/> to your system's catalog file (e.g. at /etc/xml/catalog) to avoid fetching resources from the network.
