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.
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.
file. For multiple outputs, also known as "chunking", -o
directory/ directs the output files to a specified direc
tory. 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 millisec
onds.
--repeat - Run the transformation 20 times. Used for tim
ing 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 tem
plate 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.
value value to the stylesheet. You may pass multiple
name/value pairs up to a maximum of 8.
If the value being passed is a string rather than a node
identifier, it must be escaped in quotes, as follows:
xsltproc --param rootid '"introduction"' stylesheet
file
--nonet - Do not use the Internet to fetch DTD's or enti
ties.
--warnnet - Output notification when DTD's or entities are
fetched over the Internet.
--catalogs - Use catalogs to resolve the location of
external entities. This speeds DTD resolution. By having a
catalog file point to a local version of the DTD, xsltproc
does not have to use the Internet to fetch the DTD. xslt
proc uses the catalog identified by the environmental
variable SGML_CATALOG_FILES.
--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/
(Link to 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 per
formance.
