NAME

       hxselect - extract elements that match a (CSS) selector

SYNOPSIS

       hxselect [ -i ] [ -c ] [ -l language ] [ -s separator ] selector

DESCRIPTION

       hxselect reads a well-formed XML document and outputs elements that match the CSS selector
       that is given as an argument. For example

           hxselect ol li:first-child

       selects the first li (list item in XHTML) in an ol (ordered list).

       The command operates on the standard input.

       Assumes that class selectors (".foo") refer to an attribute called "class".

       Assumes that ID selectors ("#foo") refer to an attribute called "id".

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -i        Match case-insensitively. Useful for HTML and some other SGML-based languages.

       -c        Print content only. Without -c, the start and end tag of the matched element are
                 printed as well; with -c only the contents of the matched element are printed.

       -l language
                 Sets  the  default  language,  in case the root element doesn't have an xml:lang
                 attribute (default: none). Example: -l en

       -s separator
                 A string to print after each match (default:  empty).  Accepts  C-like  escapes.
                 Example: -s '\n\n' to print an empty line after each match.
