That would be great, but unfortunately it's far beyond my capabilities -- I 
wouldn't even know where to start to set up something like that :(  But maybe I 
can teach myself between now and next time we teach the class!

I suppose I could give them Saxon and a pre-written batch file so all 
they have to do is double-click; saxon is pretty self-contained.

One way forward for this sort of thing is to pull the infrastructure onto your 
end. Setup a web form where they can upload the file (or the stylesheet, or 
both, I’m not sure which bit the students are working on), transform it form 
them, and send back the results.

For a few students with small files, it’s not an objectively large task to 
setup a server that can do small transformations, but of course it depends a 
little bit on what infrastructure you have available.

I’ve seen some very successful tutorials that were entirely “cloud based” like 
this. It doesn’t work for everything, but it does work for some things and it 
might possibly work for you here.

Good luck!
