DESCRIPTIONxsltproc 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.

OPTIONSxsltproc 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. Note: The given directory
must already exist.
--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 paramenter 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
to be written ...
XML_CATALOG_FILES
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
default catalog.
DIAGNOSTICS
xsltproc's 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
