    `Transformer` | `getTransformer()` Get the `Transformer` associated with this handler, which is needed in order to set parameters and output properties.
    `void` | `setResult(Result result)` Set the `Result` associated with this `TransformerHandler` to be used for the transformation.
    `void` | `setSystemId(String systemID)` Set the base ID (URI or system ID) from where relative URLs will be resolved.
