DESCRIPTION

       xsltproc is a command line tool for applying XSLT stylesheets to XML documents. It is part of libxslt(3), 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. It will use the standard input if a filename provided is -

       If a stylesheet is included in an XML document with a Stylesheet Processing Instruction, no stylesheet need to 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 or --output option.

OPTIONS

       xsltproc accepts the following options (in alphabetical order):

       --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.

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

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

       --html
	   The input document is an HTML file.

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

       --maxdepth VALUE
	   Adjust the maximum depth of the template stack before libxslt(3) concludes it is in an infinite loop. The default is 3000.

       --nodtdattr
	   Do not apply default attributes from the document's DTD.

       --nomkdir
	   Refuses to create directories.

       --nonet
	   Do not use the Internet to fetch DTDs, entities or documents.

       --noout
	   Do not output the result.

       --novalid
	   Skip loading the document's DTD.

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

       -o or --output FILE | DIRECTORY
	   Direct output to the given FILE. Using the option with a DIRECTORY directs the output files to the specified directory. This can be
	   useful for multiple outputs (also known as "chunking") or manpage processing.

	   Important
	   The given directory must already exist.

	   Note
	   Make sure that FILE and DIRECTORY follow the "URI reference computation" as described in RFC 2396 and laters. This means, that e.g.	-o
	   directory will maybe not work, but -o directory/ will.

       --encoding ENCODING
	   Allow to specify the encoding for the input.

       --param PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE
	   Pass a parameter of name PARAMNAME and value PARAMVALUE to the stylesheet. You may pass multiple name/value pairs up to a maximum of
	   32. If the value being passed is a string, you can use --stringparam instead, to avoid additional quote characters that appear in
	   string expressions. Note: the XPath expression must be UTF-8 encoded.

       --path "PATH(S)"
	   Use the (space- or colon-separated) list of filesystem paths specified by PATHS to load DTDs, entities or documents. Enclose
	   space-separated lists by quotation marks.

       --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.

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

       --stringparam PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE
	   Pass a parameter of name PARAMNAME and value PARAMVALUE where PARAMVALUE is a string rather than a node identifier.	Note: The string
	   must be UTF-8 encoded.

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

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

       -V or --version
	   Show the version of libxml(3) and libxslt(3) used.

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

       --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/

ENVIRONMENT

       SGML_CATALOG_FILES
	   SGML catalog behavior can be changed by redirecting queries to the user's own set of catalogs. This can be done by setting the
	   SGML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable to a list of catalogs. An empty one should deactivate loading the default /etc/sgml/catalog
	   catalog.

       XML_CATALOG_FILES
	   XML catalog behavior can be changed by redirecting queries to the user's own set of catalogs. This can be done by setting the
	   XML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable to a list of catalogs. An empty one should deactivate loading the default /etc/xml/catalog
	   catalog.
