This is a simple Docker container containing slaxproc. libslax hasn't been meaningfully updated for a few years now, so it's pretty difficult to build on modern systems. This container contains a fully-functional build of slaxproc so you can easily run it.
slax is a C-like syntax for xslt. It greatly simplifies the reading and writing of xslt files, which can otherwise be quite verbose.
