+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ &xsltproc; is a command line tool for applying <acronym>XSLT</acronym>
+ stylesheets to <acronym>XML</acronym> documents. It is part
+ of <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>libxslt</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry>, 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>
+ &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. It will use the standard input if a
+ filename provided is <emphasis role="bold">-</emphasis> .
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If a stylesheet is included in an <acronym>XML</acronym> document with a
+ Stylesheet Processing Instruction, no stylesheet need to be named at the
+ command line. &xsltproc; will automatically detect the included stylesheet
+ and use it.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ By default, output is to <filename class="devicefile">stdout</filename>.
+ You can specify a file for output using
+ the <option>-o</option> or <option>--output</option> option.
