       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.

       -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.)
