NAME
xalan - Process XML documents with XSLT stylesheets
SYNOPSIS
xalan [options]
DESCRIPTION
Xalan-C++ (named after a rare musical instrument) implements the W3C
Recommendation 16 November 1999 XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0
and the XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0. XSLT is the first part
of the XSL stylesheet language for XML. It includes the XSL
Transformation vocabulary and XPath, a language for addressing parts of
XML documents. For links to background materials, discussion groups,
frequently asked questions, and tutorials on XSLT, see Getting up to
speed with XSLT.
You use the XSLT language to compose XSL stylesheets. An XSL stylesheet
contains instructions for transforming XML documents from one document
type to another document type (XML, HTML, or other). In structural
terms, an XSL stylesheet specifies the transformation of one tree of
nodes (the XML input) into another tree of nodes (the output or
transformation result).
