xmlto: Specify a stylesheet to use while converting a DocBook XML document.
$ xmlto -x ${stylesheet-xsl} ${output_format} ${document-xml}
try on your machine

The command xmlto -x ${stylesheet-xsl} ${output_format} ${document-xml} is used to convert an XML document to another format using a specified XSL stylesheet.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • xmlto is the name of the command or executable being executed.
  • -x is an option flag that specifies the XSL stylesheet to be used for the conversion. ${stylesheet-xsl} is a placeholder for the actual path or filename of the XSL stylesheet.
  • ${output_format} is another placeholder for the desired output format of the conversion. It could be a file extension like PDF, HTML, or a specific output format like man, fo, tex, etc.
  • ${document-xml} is the placeholder for the path or filename of the XML document that needs to be converted.

When you run this command with actual values, it will use the specified XSL stylesheet to transform the XML document into the desired output format.
