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.

       -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.)
