INTRODUCTION
	xsltproc is a command line tool for applying XSLT stylesheets to  XML
       documents.  It is part of libxslt, the XSLT C library for GNOME. While
       it was developed as part of the GNOME project, it can operate indepen-
       dently of the GNOME desktop.


	xsltproc  is  invoked  from  the  command  line	 with the name of the
       stylesheet to be used followed by the name of the  file	or  files  to
       which the stylesheet is to be applied.


       If  a stylesheet is included in an XML document with a Stylesheet Pro-
       cessing Instruction, no stylesheet need be named at the command	line.
       xsltproc will automatically detect the included stylesheet and use it.


       By default, output is to stdout. You can specify a file for output us-
       ing the -o option.


COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       -V or --version
	      Show the version of libxml and libxslt used.


       -v or --verbose
	      Output each step taken by xsltproc in processing the stylesheet
	      and the document.


       -o or --output file
	      Direct output to the file named file. For multiple outputs, al-
	      so  known as "chunking", -o directory/ directs the output files
	      to a specified directory. The directory must already exist.


       --timing
	      Display the time used for parsing the stylesheet,	 parsing  the
	      document	and  applying  the  stylesheet and saving the result.
	      Displayed in milliseconds.


       --repeat
	      Run the transformation 20 times. Used for timing tests.


       --debug
	      Output an XML tree of the transformed  document  for  debugging
	      purposes.


       --novalid
	      Skip loading the document’s DTD.


       --noout
	      Do not output the result.


       --maxdepth value
	      Adjust  the  maximum depth of the template stack before libxslt
	      concludes it is in an infinite loop. The default is 500.


       --html The input document is an HTML file.


       --param name value
	      Pass  a  parameter  of  name  name  and  value  value  to	  the
	      stylesheet. You may pass multiple name/value pairs up to a max-
	      imum of 32. If the value being passed is a string rather than a
	      node identifier, use --stringparam instead.


       --stringparam name value
	      Pass a paramenter of name name and value value where value is a
	      string rather than a node identifier. (Note: The string must be
	      utf-8.)


       --nonet
	      Do  not use the Internet to fetch DTD’s, entities or documents.


       --path paths
	      Use the list (separated by space or column) of filesystem paths
	      specified by paths to load DTDs, entities or documents.


       --load-trace
	      Display  to stderr all the documents loaded during the process-
	      ing.


       --catalogs
	      Use the SGML catalog specified in SGML_CATALOG_FILES to resolve
	      the  location  of external entities. By default, xsltproc looks
	      for the catalog specified in XML_CATALOG_FILES. If that is  not
	      specified, it uses /etc/xml/catalog.


       --xinclude
	      Process  the  input  document using the Xinclude specification.
	      More details on this can be found in  the	 Xinclude  specifica-
	      tion: http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/: http://www.w3.org/TR/xin-
	      clude/


       --profile or --norman
	      Output profiling information detailing the amount of time spent
	      in  each	part  of the stylesheet. This is useful in optimizing
	      stylesheet performance.


       --dumpextensions
	      Dumps the list of all registered extensions on stdout.


       --nowrite
	      Refuses to write to any file or resource.


       --nomkdir
	      Refuses to create directories.


       --writesubtree path
	      Allow file write only within the path subtree.

       xsltproc’s return codes provide information  that  can  be  used	 when
       calling it from scripts.

       1: no argument
