🌸 XOHTML(1) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for xohtml 💖 — pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it, because this little tool is lowkey iconic and you're gonna be obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

xohtml — display libxo html output from xo_emit(3) 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xohtml [-b <base>] [-c -<command>"] [-f -<output>] [-w]
       [command [argument ...]]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So xohtml is this tool for preparing libxo(3) HTML output for display in modern HTML web browsers, fr fr. 💅

And the way it works? It's got two modes, bestie, two whole vibes:

  • If a command is provided — either with the -c option or as argument(s) to the xohtml command — that command is executed and the resulting output is processed. 👑
  • If no command is given, the standard input is used. 🫶

xohtml is typically used to wrap libxo output with sufficient HTML content to allow display in a web browser. This includes parent HTML tags as well as CSS stylesheets and Javascript files. It's giving glow-up, honestly. ✨

If the command is given directly on the command line, xohtml will add the --libxo=html option needed to generate HTML output from libxo-enabled applications. See xo_options(7) for details. 📚

The following options are available:

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -b base, --base base — Supplies a source path for the CSS and Javascript files referenced in the output of xohtml. 🗂️
  • -c command, --command command — Use the given command instead of one on the command line. This command should be quoted if it consists of multiple tokens, and should contain the --libxo=html option or equivalent, since the command is used directly. ⚠️ like, don't skip the --libxo=html, it matters bestie
  • -f file, --file file — Output is saved to the given file, rather than to the standard output descriptor. 💾
  • -w, --web — Uses the official libxo website URL as the source path for the CSS and Javascript files referenced in the output of xohtml. 🌈

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

Exhibit A 🍓 — the following command line will run du --libxo=html ~/src and save the output to /tmp/src.html:

xohtml du ~/src > /tmp/src.html

Exhibit B 🧚 — the following command line will run du --libxo=html,warn ~/src and save the output to /tmp/src.html:

du --libxo=html,warn ~/src | xohtml -f /tmp/src.html

Exhibit C 💜 — the following command line will run du --libxo=html,warn ~/src and save the output to /tmp/src.html:

xohtml -c "du --libxo=html,warn ~/src" -f /tmp/src.html

three whole ways to do the exact same slay thing, and every one of them eats 🔥
