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 [-fop] [-print] source stylesheet [result] [param=value]...

Table 6 describes the parameters for the StylusXql command.

Parameter
Description
[-fop]
Invokes the Apache Formatting Objects Processor (FOP) to post-process the XSLT result.
[-print]
Sends the result of the transformation to the default printer.
source
The path of the XML document to which you want to apply the stylesheet specified in the stylesheet parameter.
stylesheet
The path of the XSLT you want to apply to the document specified in the source parameter.
[result]
File to which you want the XSLT result to be written. The default is stdout.
[param=value]
The name-value pair of a parameter in the stylesheet specified in the stylesheet parameter.
