MKXMLTYPE(1p)

💖 MKXMLTYPE(1p) 💖

ok so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, bestie — it's mkxmltype, and we're gonna get you comfy with it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mkxmltype — make XML analysis using XML::DT 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkxmltype <xmlfile>

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so basically this command is out here trying to infer DTD and Camlila-like types for one specific XML file. that's the whole vibe. it looks at your file and goes "hmm, what's the shape of this thing" 🎀

---

🌈 Options 🌈

no cap, here's every single one, in order:

• -latin1 — the input file encoding gets forced to latin1. periodt.
• -html — uses the html (libxml2) parser instead 🧚
• -show_att — shows you the attribute values 👀
• -expand_att_id — yep, it's here. the original doesn't say a single word more about it and I'm not about to make stuff up, so that's all we got 🙈
• -lines=20000 — only reads the first 20000 lines of the XML file. like, just the beginning, not the whole novel 📖
• -t — also listed, also no description. mysterious main character energy fr fr 💀
• -class — <div class="a" id="b"> gets treated as div+a+b ✨ iconic
• -shell — drops you into interactive shell mode, so you can hang out and poke around 🫶

• XML::DT(1)
• mkdtskel(1)
• mkdtdskel

just a lil reminder: run it on an actual <xmlfile> or it's giving nothing 💖

ok that's the whole page, bestie, you're all caught up 💅 this was perl v5.36.0 documentation from 2022-12-10, so it's lowkey vintage but still slaying 🌸 go forth and analyze some XML 👑
