# xmlto

Utility `xmlto` is a simple shell script for converting XML files to various formats.
It serves as an easy-to-use command-line frontend to make fine output without
remembering many long options and searching for the syntax of the backends.

Currently, it supports conversion from `docbook`, `xhtml1`, and `fo` format to
various output formats (`awt`, `fo`, `htmlhelp`, `javahelp`, `mif`, `pdf`, `svg`,
`xhtml`, `dvi`, `html`, `html-nochunks`, `man`, `pcl`, `ps`, `txt`, `xhtml-nochunks`).
Some output formats may be unavailable if you don't have all prerequisites installed,
as xmlto uses backends (`xsltproc`, `passivetex/fop/dblatex`) for processing.

You could check and generate the offline version of documentation with xmlto from
`doc/xmlif.xml` sources. However, if you received the xmlif as a part of the distribution,
you should already have the `xmlif(1)` manpage on your machine.

# xmlif

`xmlif` utility filters XML according to conditionalizing markup. This can be useful
for formatting one of several versions of an XML document depending on conditions
passed to the command.
