DESCRIPTION

       mono-xmltool  is  a command line front end for various functions available in the Mono XML
       class libraries. It currently  it  offers  validation  with  various  different  kinds  of
       schemas, xslt transformations and pretty printing.

XML VALIDATION

       mono-xmltool  can  validate  a  given set of XML files (the instances parameter) using the
       given schema file.  Currently supported schema files include  Relax  NG  (*.rng),  Compact
       Relax  NG (*.rnc), Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language (*.nvdl) and XML Schema
       (*.xsd).

       If invoked with the --validate argument, Mono will use the filename extension to guess the
       kind  of  validation  required.   The  --validate-xxx flags would force a specific kind of
       validation.

       The following lists the flags and the actual class that implements them in Mono:

       --validate-rng

              Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RelaxNgPattern        as        the         schema,         and
              Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RelaxngValidatingReader validator.

       --validate-rnc
              Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RncParser          as          the          schema,         and
              Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RelaxngValidatingReader validator.

       --validate-nvdl

              Commons.Xml.Nvdl as the schema and Commons.Xml.NvdlValidatingReader validator.

       --validate-xsd
              System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema as the schema and  uses  System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader
              as the validator.

TRANSFORMATIONS

       This does an XSLT transformation. The stylesheet must be an XSLT file, the instance-xml is
       the document to be processed.  Output it sent to the standard output.

PRETTY PRINTING

       Produces a pretty-print rendering of the source file.  If it is not specified it reads the
       standard input.   If result is not specified, the output is sent to the standard output.
