NAME
hxaddid - add IDs to selected elements
SYNOPSIS
hxaddid
[ -x ]
[--]
elem|.class|elem.class
[ html-file ]
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 elements 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 elements 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

- elem
-
The name of element to select.
- .class
-
The name of class to select.
- elem.class
-

The name of an HTML file.
DIAGNOSTICS
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
-

to convert it to UTF-8.
