Applying a Stylesheet from the Command Line
Applying a Stylesheet from the Command Line
You use the
StylusXslt
utility to apply a stylesheet from the command line. The
StylusXslt
utility uses the XSLT and XPath processors specified in Stylus Studio.
One way you might want to use the
StylusXslt
command-line utility is to chain stylesheets. That is, you can create a batch file in which Stylus Studio consecutively applies multiple stylesheets to the same XML source document. Stylus Studio creates temporary files to specify the result of one transformation as the source for the next transformation.
The
StylusXslt
utility takes the following format:
StylusXslt [-out <output file>] [-param name=value]
[-fop] [-print] -in
<input XML file> <XSLT stylesheet>
Table 9 describes the parameters for the
StylusXql
command.
