HXREMOVE(1)			 HTML-XML-utils 		     HXREMOVE(1)

NAME
     hxremove - remove elements from an XML file by means of a CSS selector

SYNOPSIS
     hxremove [ -i ] [ -l language ] selectors

DESCRIPTION
     hxremove reads a well-formed XML document from standard input and writes it
     to standard output without any elements that match one of the CSS selectors
     that are given as argument. For example

	 hxremove ol li:first-child

     removes the first li (list item in XHTML) from every ol (ordered list).

     If  there are multiple selectors, they must be separated by commas. For ex-
     ample,

	 hxremove p + ul, blockquote ol

     removes all ul elements that follow a p element and also  all  ol	elements
     that are descendants of a blockquote element.

     hxremove assumes that class selectors (".foo") refer to an attribute called
     "class".  And  assumes  that  ID  selectors  ("#foo") refer to an attribute
     called "id".

     To handle HTML files, make them well-formed XML first, e.g., with hxnormal-
     ize -x.

     Compare with hxselect, which removes everything but the selected elements.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

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

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

OPERANDS
     The following operand is supported:

     selectors
	    One or more comma-separated selectors. Most selectors from CSS level
	    3 are supported.
