# opaxmlfilter(8)

## NAME

opaxmlfilter

Processes an XML file and removes all specified XML tags. The remaining tags are output and indentation can also be reformatted. opaxmlfilter is the opposite of opaxmlextract.

## Syntax

opaxmlfilter \[-t\|-k\] \[-l\] \[-i  *indent*\] \[-s  *element*\]  *\[input\_file\]*

## Options

- \--help

  Produces full help text.

- \-t

  Trims leading and trailing whitespace in tag contents.

- \-k

  In tags with purely whitespace that contain newlines, keeps newlines as-is. Default is to format as an empty list.

- \-l

  Adds comments with line numbers after each end tag. This can make comparison of resulting files easier since original line numbers are available.

- \-i *indent*

  Sets indentation to use per level. Default is 4.

- \-s *element*

  Specifies the name of the XML element to suppress. Can be used multiple times (maximum of 100) in any order.
