<h1>saxon:mode</h1>
<p>The <code>saxon:mode</code> element is a top-level element.
It is used to define properties of a mode, in particular whether the mode is streamable.</p>
<p>The <code>name</code> attribute indicates the name of the mode (which will normally match the
<code>mode</code> attribute of one or more template rules. Specifying <code>name="#default"</code>
is equivalent to omitting the attribute, and indicates that the declaration applies to the default (unnamed) mode.</p>
<p>The <code>streamable</code> attribute takes the value <code>yes</code> or <code>no</code>,
default <code>no</code>. If <code>yes</code> is specified, all template rules in this mode
must be streamable templates, and all processing using these template rules is done using streaming.</p>
<p>This declaration is available only in Saxon-EE.</p>
