DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

       -b base	 URL base

		 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

BUGS

       Remote  files (specified with a URL) are currently only supported for HTTP. Password-protected files or files that depend on HTTP "cookies"
