The two parameters are required. If either parameter is missing then the following error is posted

        Error in XmlTransform:Error: Number of parameters is not correct

The first parameter is the XML file. The second parameter is the XSL file.

If the XML file is not reachable the following error is posted

        Error: Failed to load XML parameter + the detailed error

If the XSL file is not reachable the following error is posted

        Error: Failed to load XSL parameter + the detailed error

Questions

• Q) Ran into an interesting problem while implimenting this. The Behavior processing happens after the basic formatting. So a transformed xml document that outputs wiki markup will not be converted into the proper html. So I think I will create another DoBehaviors method called DoWikiMarkupBehaviors that will be called at the top of the eachLine loop before the other formatting happens. Unless anyone has a better idea?
• A) After thinking about it I think I will just call 'Formatter.NestedFormat' to process the wiki markup. -- MikeLinnen

Todo

• Need to do a better job at testing the actual transform with URLs. Since an XML and XSL file must exist on the web somewhere for the test to pass.
