C:\> xslutil-6_4_2\bin\xslutil
After testing that it works, you may want to add a shortcut to C:\xslutil-6_4_2\bin\xslutil.exe
on your desktop.
On the Mac and on Linux, please type the following command in a terminal, then press Enter:
/opt$ xslutil-6_4_2/bin/xslutil &

XMLmind XSL Utility may also be used a command-line tool.
Without any command-line arguments, XMLmind XSL Utility is a 100% graphical application.
If you pass it the following command-line arguments, XMLmind XSL Utility will perform the conversion without displaying its main window:
xslutilconversion_specification_name
input_xml_file
output_file_or_directory
Windows example corresponding to the figure below:
C:\xslutil-6_4_2\bin> xslutil-c dbToDocx E:\tmp\help.xml E:\tmp\help.docx
On Windows, make sure to use |
Linux/Mac example:
/opt/xslutil-6_4_2/bin$ xslutil dbToDocx /tmp/help.xml /tmp/help.docx
The basic idea here is to use the dialog box to add or edit conversion specifications and then to use the XMLmind XSL Utility command-line to actually perform the conversion. This way you get the best of both worlds.
