# hxxmlns(1)

replace XML Namespace prefixes by "global names"

## NAME

hxxmlns - replace XML Namespace prefixes by "global names"

## SYNOPSIS

**hxxmlns** \[ **-d** \] \[ **--** \] \[ *file* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**hxxmlns** expands all element and attribute names to "global names" by expanding the prefix. All names will be printed as "{URL}name". Attribute names without a prefix will have an empty namespace part: "{}name". The namespace attributes (those that start with "xmlns") will be removed.

By default comments, PIs and the DOCTYPE declaration are copied unchanged, but with option **-d** they are removed.
