<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
<application>xsltproc</application> is a command line tool for applying
<acronym>XSLT</acronym> stylesheets to <acronym>XML</acronym>
documents. It is part of <application>libxslt</application>, the XSLT C
library for GNOME. While it was developed as part of the GNOME project, it
can operate independently of the GNOME desktop.
</para>
<para>
<application>xsltproc</application> 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.
</para>
<para>
If a stylesheet is included in an <acronym>XML</acronym> document with a
Stylesheet Processing Instruction, no stylesheet need be named at the
command line. <application>xsltproc</application> will automatically
detect the included stylesheet and use it.
</para>
<para>
By default, output is to stdout. You can specify a file for output using
the <option>-o</option> option.
