A program in the DAPS software package, a complete environment to build HTML, PDF, ePUB and other formats from DocBook XML.

## NAME

daps-xmlformat - A program in the DAPS software package, a complete environment to build HTML, PDF, ePUB and other formats from DocBook XML.

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the daps-xmlformat program.

The daps-xmlformat program is a wrapper around the xmlformat command that is used to format XML-formatted files. Simply pass the file name to the program on the command line. Use the --help switch to see a usage help, like that below:

```
				Usage: xmlformat [options] xml-file
				Options:
				--help, -h
				Print this message and exit.
				--backup suffix -b suffix
				Back up the input document, adding suffix to the input
				filename to create the backup filename.
				--canonized-output
				Proceed only as far as the document canonization stage,
				printing the result.
				--check-parser
				Parse the document into tokens and verify that their
				concatenation is identical to the original input document.
				This option suppresses further document processing.
				--config-file file_name, -f file_name
				Specify the configuration filename. If no file is named,
				xmlformat uses the file named by the environment variable
				XMLFORMAT_CONF, if it exists, or ./xmlformat.conf, if it
				exists. Otherwise, xmlformat uses built-in formatting
				options.
				--in-place, -i
				Format the document in place, replacing the contents of
				the input file with the reformatted document. (It's a
				good idea to use --backup along with this option.)
				--show-config
				Show configuration options after reading configuration
				file. This option suppresses document processing.
				--show-unconfigured-elements
				Show elements that are used in the document but for
				which no options were specified in the configuration
				file. This option suppresses document output.
				--verbose, -v
				Be verbose about processing stages.
				--version, -V
				Show version information and exit.
```
