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. &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 500. --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. The given directory must already exist. 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 rather than a node identifier, use --stringparam instead. --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: 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. &xsltproc; return codes provide information that can be used when calling it from scripts. 0 No error (normal operation) 1 No argument 2 Too many parameters 3 Unknown option 4 Failed to parse the stylesheet 5 Error in the stylesheet 6 Error in one of the documents 7 Unsupported xsl:output method 8 String parameter contains both quote and double-quotes 9 Internal processing error 10 Processing was stopped by a terminating message 11 Could not write the result to the output file libxml 3 , libxslt 3 More information can be found at libxml 3 web page W3C XSLT page
