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
       example,

	   hxremove p +	ul, blockquote ol

       removes	all  ul	 elements that follow a	p element and also all ol ele-
       ments 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 at-
       tribute called "id".

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

       Compare	with  hxselect,	which removes everything but the selected ele-
       ments.

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.
