2      xsltproc is a command line tool for applying
3      XSLT stylesheets to XML
4      documents. It is part of libxslt, the XSLT C
5      library for GNOME. While it was developed as part of the GNOME project, it
6      can operate independently of the GNOME desktop.
7   </p><p>
8      xsltproc is invoked from the command line with
9      the name of the stylesheet to be used followed by the name of the file or
10      files to which the stylesheet is to be applied.
11    </p><p>
12      If a stylesheet is included in an XML document with a
13      Stylesheet Processing Instruction, no stylesheet need be named at the
14      command line. xsltproc will automatically
15      detect the included stylesheet and use it.
16    </p><p>
17      By default, output is to stdout. You can specify a file for output using
18      the <tt>-o</tt> option.
