public class Extensions
extends java.lang.Object

This class implements functions that are supplied as standard with SAXON, but which are not defined in the XSLT or XPath specifications.

To invoke these functions, use a function call of the form prefix:name() where name is the method name, and prefix maps to a URI such as http://icl.com/saxon/com.icl.saxon.functions.Extensions (only the part of the URI after the last slash is important).
