xml2

XML2(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   XML2(1)

NAME

       xml2 - convert xml documents in a flat format

       2xml - convert flat format into xml

       html2 - convert html documents in a flat format

       2html - convert flat format into html

       csv2 - convert csv files in a flat format

       2csv - convert flat format into csv

SYNOPSIS

       <xml2|2xml|html2|2html|csv2|2csv> > outfile < infile

DESCRIPTION

       There are six tools. Except csv2 and and 2csv they don't take any command-line arguments.  They are all simple filters which can be used to
       read files from standard input in one format and output it to standard output in another format.

       The flat format used by the tools is specific to these tools.  It is a syntax for representing structured markup in a  way  that  makes	it
       easy  to process with line-oriented tools.  The same format is used for HTML and XML; in fact, you can think of html2 as converting HTML to
       XHTML and running xml2 on the result; likewise 2html and 2xml. (Of course, this isn't how the implementation works.)

SEE ALSO

       This program does normally not include any documentation in form of manpages.  However it has a real excellent documentation online with  a
       lot of example.	In fact this manpage was based on this documentation.

       xml2 was written by Dan Egnor.

       This  manpage  was written by Patrick Schoenfeld <schoenfeld@in-medias-res.com> for the Debian project, but may be used by others under the
       same terms as xml2 is distributed.
