HXINCL(1)			HTML-XML-utils			     HXINCL(1)

NAME
       hxincl -	expand included	HTML or	XML files

SYNOPSIS
       hxincl  [ -x ] [	-f ] [ -s name=subst ] [ -s name=subst ]...  [ -b base
       ] [ file-or-URL ]

       hxincl -M target	[ -s name=subst	] [ -s name=subst ]...	[ -b base ]  [
       -G ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION
       Without	-M,  the hxincl	command	copies an HTML or XML file to standard
       output, looking for comments with a certain structure.  Such a  comment
       is replaced by the file whose name is given as the attribute of the di-
       rective.	For example:

	   ...<!-- include "foo.html" -->...

       will be replaced	by the content of the file foo.html.

       The comment is replaced by

	   <!--	begin-include "foo.html" -->

       before the included text	and

	   <!--	end-include "foo.html" -->

       after  it. These	comments make it possible to run hxincl	on the result-
       ing file	again to update	the inclusions.

       Single quotes are allowed instead of double quotes.  And	 if  the  file
       name contains no	spaces,	the quotes may also be omitted.

       With  -M,  the  hxincl  command	outputs	a line of dependencies that is
       suitable	for inclusion in a Makefile. The target	is the target  of  the
       Makefile	rule and hxincl	will list after	the ':'	all the	files that are
       included, recursively. E.g., the	result of

	   hxincl -M myfile.html inputfile

       might be

	   myfile.html:	foo.html bar.html

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -x	 Use  XML conventions: empty elements are written with a slash
		 at the	end: <IMG />.

       -b base	 Sets the base URL for resolving relative URLs.	By default the
		 file given as argument	is the base URL.

       -f	 Removes the comments after including the  files.  This	 means
		 hxincl	 cannot	 be  run on the	resulting file later to	update
		 the inclusions.  (Mnemonic: final or frozen.)

       -s name=substitution
		 Include a different file than the one mentioned in the	direc-
		 tive. If the comment is

		     <!-- include "name" -->

		 the file substitution is included instead. And	 if  the  file
		 name in the comment includes a	variable called	name delimited
		 by %, e.g.,

		     <!-- include "xxx-%name%" -->

		 then  %name%  is  replaced  by	substitution and thus the file
		 xxx-substitution is included. The option -s may occur	multi-
		 ple  times.  %-delimited  variables are expanded recursively,
		 i.e., if the substitution  text  contains  a  variable,  that
		 variable  is  expanded,  too.	E.g.,  if  the	two options -s
		 name=%p1%.rrr	and  -s	  p1=subst   are   given,   then   the
		 "xxx-%name%" will expand to "xxx-subst.rrr".

       -M target Instead  of outputting	the input file with all	inclusions ex-
		 panded, output	just the list of all files that	the input  in-
		 cludes,  recursively,	in the form of a rule that is suitable
		 for a Makefile. The target is printed as the target  of  that
		 rule.

       -G	 Suppress error	messages if a file to include cannot be	found.
		 (Only with -M.)

OPERANDS
       The following operand is	supported:

       file-or-URL
		 The name of an	HTML or	XML file or the	URL of one. If absent,
		 standard input	is read	instead.

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.

       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.)
