.SH NAME
xml2pot \- creates a PO-template file from a DocBook XML file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xml2pot
.I original-XML
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBxml2pot\fP is a command-line tool that produces a gettext message
template file from the DocBook XML file \fIoriginal-XML\fP.
The template file is sent to standard output.

The resulting template file can be used to create gettext message files
(PO-files) for a variety of languages.  These can then be used in conjunction
with
.BR po2xml (1)
to translate the original XML file into these other languages.
.PP
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
