The igpp.xml is a collection of Java classes to simplify processing of XML files. It also contains a set of command-line tools that are easier to use than other common XML processing tools like xmllint and other tools found in < href=http://xmlsoft.org">libxml2 .
This package contains the following command-line tools:
| prettyxml | Converts XML to pretty XML. |
| toxhtml | Converts an HTML file into a compliant XHTML file. |
| topdf | Convert an XHTML file into a PDF file. |
| transform | Transform an XML file using a stylesheet (XSL). |
| xmlgrep | An XML aware grep tool that can search for elements (tags) that match a pattern as well as search the content of elements (tags) that match a pattern. |
