INTRODUCTION
      xsltproc is a command line tool for applying XSLT stylesheets to XML docu-
     ments.  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.

COMMAND LINE 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.

     -o or --output file
	    Direct output to the file named file.  For	multiple  outputs,  also
	    known  as  "chunking",  -o	directory/ directs the output files to a
	    specified directory. The directory must already exist.

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

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

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

     --novalid
	    Skip loading the document's DTD.

     --noout
	    Do not output the result.

     --maxdepth value
	    Adjust the maximum depth of the template stack before  libxslt  con-
	    cludes it is in an infinite loop. The default is 500.

     --html
	    The input document is an HTML file.

     --param name value
	    Pass a parameter of name name and value value 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.

     --stringparam name value
	    Pass  a  paramenter  of  name  name and value value where value is a
	    string rather than a node identifier.  (Note:  The	string	must  be
	    utf-8.)

     --nonet
	    Do not use the Internet to fetch DTD's or entities.

     --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.

     --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/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
	    performance.

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

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

     --nomkdir
	    Refuses to create directories.

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

RETURN VALUES
     xsltproc's return codes provide information that can be used  when  calling
     it from scripts.

     0: normal

     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
