Thank you Dominique, Matt & Michael for your responses.

For the time being I simply wrapped the text inside <span></span> tags
(since I'm trying to generate a time html file). I did not have any
special styles for the spans in the document, so this serves my
purpose for now.

I will look into details of the xslt task and check if I can provide
the xsl(t?) instructions inline with the build.xml. If that isn't
doable, then will place them in an adjacent external .xsl file and use
it using ${basedir}.

Thanks once again,
Parag Doke
