Description Waldo Bastian 2006-08-10 21:49:52 UTC 
Possibility to have xsltproc read stylesheet from command line, like AWK or sed -e. This makes it possible to make a self-contained script based on xsltproc that operates on XML files.
Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2006-08-11 08:13:17 UTC 
I am a bit surprized by the request. a command line is one line,
basically no stylehseet will fit gracefully there, but you should be able to
use stdin though by using '-' as the filename which is interpreted that way by
libxml2:

   echo .... | xsltproc - instance.xml 

should work I guess, and looks nicer

Indeed, I must be blind. Pretty sure I looked for that option.
Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2006-08-11 08:32:44 UTC 
Okay :-) if it doesn't work as expected open another bug, because 
honnestly I don't think it's used very often,
