NAME

       hxnormalize - pretty-print an HTML file

SYNOPSIS

       hxnormalize [ -x ] [ -e ] [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -L ] [ -i indent ] [ -l line-length ] [ -c commentmagic ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hxnormalize  command  pretty-prints  an HTML file, and also tries to fix small errors. The output is the same HTML, but with a maximum
       line length and with optional indentation to indicate the nesting level of each line.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -x	 Use XML conventions: empty elements are written with a slash at the end: <IMG />. Implies -e.

       -e	 Always insert endtags, even if HTML does not require them (for example: </p> and </li>).

       -d	 Omit the DOCTYPE from the output.

       -i indent Set the number of spaces to indent each nesting level. Default is 2.  Not all elements cause an indent. In general, elements that
		 can  occur  in a block environment are started on a new line and cause an indent, but inline elements, such as EM and SPAN do not
		 cause an indent.

       -l line-length
		 Sets the maximum length of lines.  hxnormalize will wrap lines so that all lines are as long as possible, but no longer than this
		 length. Default is 72. Words that are longer than the line length will not be broken, and will extend past this length. A

		 content of the STYLE, SCRIPT and PRE elements will not be line-wrapped.

       -s	 Omit <span> tags that don't have any attributes.

       -L	 Remove redundant "lang" and "xml:lang" attributes. (I.e., those whose value is the same as the language inherited from the parent
		 element.)

       -c commentmagic
		 Comments are normally placed right after the preceding text. That is usually correct for short comments, but  some  comments  are
		 meant	to  be on a separate line.  commentmagic is a string and when that string occurs inside a comment, hxnormalize will output
		 an empty line before that comment. E.g. -c "====" can be used to put all comments that contain "====" on a  separate  line,  pre-
		 ceded by an empty line. By default, no comments are treated that way.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       file-or-URL
		 The name or URL of an HTML file. If absent, standard input is read instead.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	 Successful completion.

       > 0	 An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML file.  hxnormalize will try to correct the error and produce output anyway.

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

       The error recovery for incorrect HTML is primitive.

       hxnormalize will not omit an endtag if the white space after it could possibly be significant. E.g., it will not remove the first </p> from
       "<div><p>text</p> <p>text</p></div>".

       hxnormalize can currently only retrieve remote files over HTTP. It doesn't handle password-protected files, nor files whose content depends
       on HTTP "cookies."

NAME

       hxincl - expand included HTML or XML files

SYNOPSIS

       hxincl [ -x ] [ -f ] [ -s name=subst ] [ -s name=subst ]...  [ -b base ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hxincl  command  copies  an  HTML  or  XML	file to standard output, looking for comments with a certain structure.  Such a comment is
       replaced by the file whose name is given as the attribute of the directive. For example:

	   ...<!-- include "foo.html" -->...

       will be replaced by the content of the file foo.html.  It is important to note that you must quote filenames if they contain white space.

       The comment is replaced by

	   <!-- begin-include "foo.html" -->

       before the included text and

	   <!-- end-include "foo.html" -->

       after it. These comments make it possible to run hxincl on the resulting file again to update the inclusions.

       Single quotes are allowed instead of double quotes. And if the file name contains no spaces, the quotes may also be omitted.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -x	 Use XML conventions: empty elements are written with a slash at the end: <IMG />.

       -b base	 Sets the base URL for resolving relative URLs. By default the file given as argument is the base URL.

       -f	 Removes the comments after including the files. This means hxincl connot be run on the resulting file later to update the  inclu-
		 sions.  (Mnemonic: final or frozen.)

       -s name=substitution
		 Include a different file than the one mentioned in the directive. If the comment is

		     <!-- include "name" -->

		 the file substitution is included instead. The option -s may occur multiple times.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       file-or-URL
		 The name of an HTML or XML file or the URL of one. If absent, standard input is read instead.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	 Successful completion.

       > 0	 An error occurred in the parsing of one of the HTML or XML files.

ENVIRONMENT

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

BUGS

       Assumes UTF-8 as input. Doesn't expand character entities. Instead pipe the input through hxunent(1) and asc2xml(1) to convert it to UTF-8.

       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.)
