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.
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 out-
puts, also known as "chunking", -o directory/ directs
the output files to a specified directory. The direc-
tory must already exist.
--timing
Display the time used for parsing the stylesheet, pars-
ing the document and applying the stylesheet and saving
the result. Displayed in milliseconds.
--repeat
Run the transformation 20 times. Used for timing tests.

User Commands xsltproc(1)
--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 template 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.
--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.
--nonet
Do not use the Internet to fetch DTD's or entities.
--warnnet
Output notification when DTD's or entities are fetched
over the Internet.
--catalogs
Use catalogs to resolve the location of external enti-
ties. 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. xsltproc
uses the catalog identified by the environmental vari-
able SGML_CATALOG_FILES.
--xinclude
Process the input document using the Xinclude specifi-
cation. More details on this can be found in the Xin-
clude specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/.

User Commands xsltproc(1)
--profile or --norman
Output profiling information detailing the amount of
time spent in each part of the stylesheet. This is use-
ful in optimizing stylesheet performance.
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
