$\DeclareMathOperator{\homop}{Hom} \newcommand{\Hom}[2]{\homop\left(#1,\,#2\right)} \newcommand{\lt}{<} \newcommand{\gt}{>} \newcommand{\amp}{&} \definecolor{fillinmathshade}{gray}{0.9} \newcommand{\fillinmath}[1]{\mathchoice{\colorbox{fillinmathshade}{$\displaystyle \phantom{\,#1\,}$}}{\colorbox{fillinmathshade}{$\textstyle \phantom{\,#1\,}$}}{\colorbox{fillinmathshade}{$\scriptstyle \phantom{\,#1\,}$}}{\colorbox{fillinmathshade}{$\scriptscriptstyle\phantom{\,#1\,}$}}} $

Section 44.4 stringparams

To pass stringparams to xsltproc, use a command like the following (possibly with --xinclude).

xsltproc -o animals.tex --stringparam latex.font.size "20pt"
/path/to/xsl/pretext-latex.xsl ~/books/aota/animals.xml

You can use as many stringparam as you like on the command-line (or in your scripts). The quotation marks are not strictly needed in this example, but if the value of the parameter has spaces, slashes, etc. , then you need to quote-protect the string from the command-line processor, and either single or double quotes will work (and protect the other kind).
