XALAN(1)						      General Commands Manual							  XALAN(1)

NAME

       xalan - Process XML documents with XSLT stylesheets

SYNOPSIS

       xalan [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Xalan-C++ (named after a rare musical instrument) implements the W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999 XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0
       and the XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0. XSLT is the first part of the XSL stylesheet language for XML. It includes the XSL Transfor-
       mation  vocabulary  and XPath, a language for addressing parts of XML documents. For links to background materials, discussion groups, fre-
       quently asked questions, and tutorials on XSLT, see Getting up to speed with XSLT.

       You use the XSLT language to compose XSL stylesheets. An XSL stylesheet contains instructions for transforming XML documents from one docu-
       ment  type  to another document type (XML, HTML, or other). In structural terms, an XSL stylesheet specifies the transformation of one tree
       of nodes (the XML input) into another tree of nodes (the output or transformation result).

OPTIONS

       Options are case-sensitive.

       -in URL
	      Sets the input URL.  If nothing is set, stdin is used.

       -xsl URL
	      Sets the XSLT sheet URL.

       -out file
	      Sets the output filename.

       -v     Show version information only.

       -qc    Quiet pattern conflicts warnings.

       -q     Use quiet mode.

       -indent n
	      Controls how many spaces to indent. Default is 0.

       -validate
	      Controls whether validation occurs. Validation is off by default.

       -tt    Trace the templates as they are being called.

       -tg    Trace each generation event.

       -ts    Trace each selection event.

       -ttc   Trace the template children as they are being processed.

       -xml   Use XML formatter and add XML header.

       -text  Use simple Text formatter.

       -html  Use HTML formatter.

       -dom   Use DOM formatter.  Formats to DOM, then formats XML for output.

       -xst   Use source tree formatter.  Formats to Xalan source tree, then formats XML for output.

       -param name expression
	      Sets a stylesheet parameter.

       -xd    Use Xerces DOM instead of Xalan source tree.

       -de    Disable built-in extension functions

       The following option is valid only with -HTML

       -noindent
	      Turn off HTML indenting.

       The following option is valid only with -XML.

       -nh    Don't write XML header.
