xsltproc: Transform an XML file with a specific XSLT stylesheet.
$ xsltproc --output ${path-to-output_file-html} ${path-to-stylesheet_file-xslt} ${filename-xml}
try on your machine

This command is using the xsltproc tool to perform an XSLT transformation on an XML file.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

xsltproc: This is the command itself, which invokes the xsltproc tool.

--output ${path-to-output_file-html}: This option specifies the output file for the transformed XML. You need to replace ${path-to-output_file-html} with the actual path and name of the desired output file. This file will be in HTML format.

${path-to-stylesheet_file-xslt}: This is the path to the XSLT stylesheet file that will be used for the transformation. Replace ${path-to-stylesheet_file-xslt} with the actual path and name of the XSLT file.

${filename-xml}: This is the input XML file that you want to transform. Replace ${filename-xml} with the actual path and name of the XML file.

Overall, this command takes an input XML file, applies an XSLT stylesheet to it using the xsltproc tool, and generates an HTML output file according to the transformation rules defined in the XSLT file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
