<cvstagdiff

Ant includes a basic XSLT stylesheet that you can use to generate a HTML report based on the xml output. The following example illustrates how to generate a HTML report from the XML report.
<style in="tagdiff.xml"
out="tagdiff.html"
style="${ant.home}/etc/tagdiff.xsl">
<param name="title" expression="Ant Diff"/>
<param name="module" expression="jakarta-ant"/>
<param name="cvsweb" expression="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/"/>
</style>
