# pxslcc(1)

PXSL to XML converter

## NAME

pxslcc - PXSL to XML converter

## SYNOPSIS

**pxslcc** \[*options*\] *file*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **pxslcc** command.

**PXSL** is a convenient shorthand for writing markup-heavy **XML** documents.  It provides an alternative denotation for **XML** that focuses on the mark-up instead of the text, making handling mark-up heavy **XML** documents easier.  Also, **PXSL** makes use of element defaults that can act as shortcuts or even as macros.

**pxslcc** is a program that takes a **PXSL** source file and any macro definitions and generates an **XML** file.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the README file.

- **-i**\[*NUM*\] **--indent**\[=*NUM*\]

  Re-indent XML using *NUM* spaces per nesting level.

- **-h, --header**

  Insert an comment into the generated XML to warn against editing the XML file directly and to recommend editing the original PXSL source file instead.

- **-x, --xslt**

  Add default element defaults for generating XSLT files.

- **-a***FILE***, --add=***FILE*

  Add the given defaults file.

- **--export**

  Export (print) all of the active defaults.

- **--dump**

  Dump internal parse format (for debugging).

- **--help**

  Print a synopsis of command line options.

- **-v, --version**

  Prints out the program version.
