/ "Billard, Trish" <trish.billard@hp.com> was heard to say:
|   Does anyone know of a (preferably free) metrics tool that counts lines of .xsl code?  We'd need something that would exclude white space and comments, and not count something like this:
|
| <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
|                 xmlns:xt="http://www.jclark.com/xt";
|                 extension-element-prefixes="xt"
|               version='1.0'>
|  as 4 lines just because it's formatted that way.
|
| We need it to do some planning and estimating for a project that involves writing and modifying .xsl stylesheets.
|
| Any ideas?

Run the stylesheet through an identity transform in XSL, that'll get rid of
all the comments, then count start tags. (Or just count "<" and divide by 2).

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
