hxunent - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

hxunent - replace HTML predefined character entities by UTF-8

SYNOPSIS

hxunent [ -b ] [ -f ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

The hxunent command reads the file (or standard input) and copies it to standard output
with &-entities by their equivalent character (encoded as UTF-8). E.g., " is replaced
by " and &lt; is replaced by <.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-b The five builtin entities of XML (&lt; &gt; &quot; &apos; &amp;) are not
replaced but copied unchanged. This is necessary if the output has to be valid
XML or SGML.

-f This option changes how unknown entities or lone ampersands are handled.
Normally they are copied unchanged, but this option tries to "fix" them by
replacing ampersands by &amp;. Often such stray ampersands are the result of
copy and paste of URLs into a document and then this option indeed fixes them
and makes the document valid.

DIAGNOSTICS

The program's exit value is 0 if all went well, otherwise:

1 The input couldn't be read (file not found, file not readable...)

2 Wrong command line arguments.
