Xslthl is an implementation of syntax highlighting as an extension module for Java based XSLT processors. So if you have, for example, an article about programming written in DocBook, code examples can be automatically syntax highlighted when you use DocBook XSL to transform the DocBook code to HTML, Rtf, etc.
DocBook XSL ships with built in support for syntax highlighting using xslthl.
