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 independently 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 Processing 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 using 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, also 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.

       --docbook
	      The input document is DocBook SGML.  Do not use the --docbook option of xsltproc to process XML DocBook documents,  this	option	is
	      only intended to provide some (limited) support of the SGML version of DocBook.

       --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 maximum 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 or entities.

       --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  specification:  :
	      http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/

       --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.
