HXUNPIPE(1)                     HTML-XML-utils                     HXUNPIPE(1)

NAME
       hxunpipe - convert output of hxpipe back to XML format

SYNOPSIS
       hxunpipe [ -b ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION
       hxunpipe takes the output of hxpipe(1) (or of onsgmls(1)) and turns it
       back into XML/SGML mark-up.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -b        Normally, hxunpipe assumes the input was made by hxpipe,
                 i.e., the input may contain character entities but will never
                 contain SGML/XML delimiters (<>&"') that need to be escaped.
                 When the input was made by (o)nsgmls, however, the entities
                 will have been expanded and the input may contain SGML/XML
                 delimiters. The option -b causes hxunpipe to look for those
                 delimiters and escape them: "<" as "&lt;", ">" as "&gt;", "&"
                 as "&amp;", """ as "&quot;" and "'" as "&apos;".

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 input.

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
       Not all syntax errors in the input are recognized.

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