HXADDID(1)			HTML-XML-utils			    HXADDID(1)

NAME
       hxaddid - add IDs to selected elements

SYNOPSIS
       hxaddid [ -x ] [--] elem|.class|elem.class [ file-or-URL	]

DESCRIPTION
       The  hxaddid  command  copies  an  HTML or XML file to standard output,
       while adding element IDs	to the specified elements or classes.

       For example, given the input

	   <p>A	paragraph without an ID</p>

       the command

	   hxaddid p

       will output

	   <p id="a-paragraph">A paragraph without an ID</p>

       If you specify a	class using .class then	IDs will only be added to ele-
       ments that contain that class.  And if you specify  an  element	and  a
       class using elem.class then IDs will only be added to the specified el-
       ements that contain the specified class.

       If two elements would naturally generate	the same ID, a number is added
       to  the ID name (starting with 0) to make sure the IDs are unique.  IDs
       are not added to	matching elements that already contain an ID.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -x	 Use XML conventions: empty elements are written with a	 slash
		 at  the  end:	<IMG />. Also causes the element to be matched
		 case-sensitively.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       elem	 The name of element to	select.

       .class	 The name of class to select.

       elem.class
		 The name of element that contains class to select.

       file-or-URL
		 The name or URL of an HTML or XHTML file.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	 Successful completion.

       > 0	 An error occurred in the parsing of one of the	 HTML  or  XML
		 files.

ENVIRONMENT
       To  use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables
       http_proxy or ftp_proxy.	 E.g., http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/"

BUGS
       Assumes UTF-8 as	input. Doesn't expand character	entities. Instead pipe
       the input through hxunent(1) and	asc2xml(1) to convert it to UTF-8.

       hxaddid tries first to generate "readable" IDs, by forming the  ID  out
       of the letters and digits found in the content of the element and falls
       back  to	 generating  arbitrary IDs if it doesn't find enough. However,
       the algorithm in	this version is	primitive and  only  gives  reasonable
       results for ASCII letters and digits.

       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 re-
       trieve such files.)
