NAME

       hxtabletrans - transpose an HTML or XHTML table

SYNOPSIS

       hxtabletrans [ -x ] [ -v ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       hxtabletrans  reads  an  HTML or XHTML file (or fragment), finds the first <table> element
       and outputs that element with the rows and columns transposed. I.e., rows  become  columns
       and columns become rows.

       Any  grouping of rows with <thead>, <tbody> or <tfoot> is lost. Also, any comments outside
       the cells are lost.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -x        Use XML syntax. Empty elements are written with a slash (/) at  the  end,  e.g.:
                 <br/>

       -v        Print the version number and exit.

BUGS

       hxtabletrans should check for rows that have fewer cells than the longest row (taking into
       account the effect of the colspan and rowspan attributes) and create  the  omitted  cells,
       but  it  currently  doesn't. Tables with rows of unequal length may thus not be transposed
       correctly.
