hxtabletrans1

Usage

Overview

hxtabletrans reads an HTML or XHTML file (or fragment), finds the first <table> element and outputs that element with the rows and columns transposed. I.e., rows become columns and columns become rows.

Any grouping of rows with <thead>, <tbody> or <tfoot> is lost. Also, any comments outside the cells are lost.

Options

The following options are supported:

-c

Also try to transpose the contents of cells. If a cell consists only of horizontal or vertical arrows and ellipses (apart from mark-up and whitespace), then those arrows and ellipses are replaced by their transposed counterparts. E.g., a right arrow becomes a down arrow.

-x

Use XML syntax. Empty elements are written with a slash (/) at the end, e.g.: <br/>

-v

Print the version number and exit.
