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).
