• --xsl-file, -s - path to XSL file, optional

• --output, -o - path to output file, optional

• --imagesdir, -img - folder with images (default 'images'), optional

7. Convert Metanorma xml to IEEE STL XML.

java -jar target/mnconvert-1.60.0.jar tests/iso-tc154-8601-1-en.xml --output tests/iso-tc154-8601-1-en.out.xml

Note

Input XML format (Metanorma, STS ISO/NISO, IEEE or XML2RFC) determines programmatically by root element of input file: - Metanorma XML - *-standard or metanorma-collection - XML2RFC - rfc - IEEE - standards-document - ISO/STS in another cases but you can specify it obviously by parameter --input-format, -if (values: metanorma|sts|rfc)

Note	Output format (Metanorma or STS) determines programmatically by root element of input file: - STS NISO XML for input Metanorma XML - Metanorma for input STS ISO/NISO XML - Metanorma for input XML2RFC

Installing Build Tools

You will need the maven build tool and make.
