# hxprintlinks(1)

add a numbered list of links at the end of an HTML file

## NAME

hxprintlinks - add a numbered list of links at the end of an HTML file

## SYNOPSIS

**hxprintlinks** \[ **-b** *base* \] *file-or-URL*

## DESCRIPTION

**hxprintlinks** adds a numbered list of all URLs (links) found in the file to the end of the HTML file.

## OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

- **-b** *base*

  Make the URLs in the list absolute, using *base* as the base URL.

## OPERANDS

The following operand is supported:

- *file-or-URL*

  The file to work on. If the argument is absent, or if it is - (a single dash), the document is read from the standard input.

## SEE ALSO

[**hxcopy**(1)](/hxcopy/1.md)

## BUGS

The option **-b** is probably of limited use. It makes the links in the generated list absolute, but doesn't change the other links. For a more flexible solution, use [**hxcopy**(1)](/hxcopy/1.md) on the output of **hxprintlinks**. E.g., instead of

```
hxprintlinks -b http://example.org/base/ myfile.html
```

use

```
hxprintlinks myfile.html | hxcopy -i http://example.org/base -o .
```
