HXXMLNS(1)

💖 NAME 💖

hxxmlns — bestie, this is the girl that replaces XML Namespace prefixes with "global names" ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hxxmlns [ -d ] [ -- ] [ file ]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: your XML doc is out here with all these lil namespace prefixes everywhere, right? hxxmlns goes and expands every element name and every attribute name into a "global name" by expanding that prefix out. No prefix left behind, periodt. 💅

Every name gets printed like this:

{URL}name

And if an attribute name has no prefix at all? Then its namespace part is just empty, like:

{}name

ngl it's giving "mystery box but the box is empty." 🫶

Also, the namespace attributes — and we mean the ones that start with xmlns — get removed. Gone. Not invited to the party. 🙈

🦋 what happens to the other stuff 🦋

By default, comments, PIs and the DOCTYPE declaration are all copied through unchanged — they stay exactly as they were, living their best life. 💖

But if you pass the -d option, they get removed instead. Just like that. No cap. 💀

💜 the options, quick rundown 💜

• -d — deletes comments, PIs and the DOCTYPE declaration instead of copying them unchanged. bye bestie 👋
• -- — the classic "end of options" marker, so the thing after it is treated as a file and not as an option. iconic behaviour fr fr.
• file — the file you want to feed it. give it a file, it does the thing. 🌈

[ToDo]

(yes, that's literally it. the authors left a lil note. we love an honest queen. 👑)

💀 heads up bestie: that [ToDo] is straight from the original page — it's not me being mysterious, that's just what's written.

okay that's the whole vibe, mwah 💅✨
