       hxextract - extract selected elements from a HTML or XML file

SYNOPSIS

       hxextract [ -h | -? ] [ -x ] [ -s text ] [ -e text ] [ -b base ] element-or-class [ -c configfile | file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       hxextract outputs all elements with a certain name and/or class.

       Input must be well-formed, since no HTML heuristics are applied.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -x	 Use XML format conventions.

       -s text	 Insert text at the start of the output.

       -e text	 Insert text at the end of the output.

       -b base	 URL base

       -c configfile
		 Read  @chapter  lines	from  configfile  (lines  must be of the form "@chapter filename") and extract elements from each of those
		 files.

       -h, -?	 Print command usage.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       element-or-class
		 The name of an element to extract (e.g., "H2"), or the name of a class preceded by "." (e.g., ".example")  or	a  combination	of
		 both (e.g., "H2.example").

       file-or-URL
		 A file name or a URL. To read from standard input, use "-".

ENVIRONMENT

       To use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy.  E.g., http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/"

BUGS

       Remote  files (specified with a URL) are currently only supported for HTTP. Password-protected files or files that depend on HTTP "cookies"
       are not handled. (You can use tools such as curl(1) or wget(1) to retrieve such files.)
