DESCRIPTION
xsltproc 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.
OPTIONS
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.

xsltproc Manual XSLTPROC(1)
--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 3000.
--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.
Important
The given directory must already exist.
Note
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.

xsltproc Manual XSLTPROC(1)
--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, you can use --stringparam instead, to avoid
additional quote characters that appear in string
expressions. Note: the XPath expression must be UTF-8
encoded.
--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: http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/
ENVIRONMENT
SGML_CATALOG_FILES
SGML catalog behavior can be changed by redirecting
queries to the user's own set of catalogs. This can be

xsltproc Manual XSLTPROC(1)
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.

when calling it from scripts.
