NAME

addid - add ID's to selected elements

SYNOPSIS

addid [ -x ] [--] elem|.class|elem.class [ html-file ]

DESCRIPTION

The addid command opies an HTML or XML file to standard output, while adding element IDs to the specified elements or classes.

For example, given the input

 <p>A paragraph without an ID</p>
 
 

the command

 addid p
 
 

will output

 <p id="a-paragraph">A paragraph without an ID</p>
 
 

If you specify a class using .class then IDs will only be added to elements that contain that class. And if you specify a element and a class using elem.class then IDs will only be added to the specified elements that contain the specified class.

If two elements would naturally generate the same ID, a number is added to the ID name (starting with 0) to make sure the IDs are unique. IDs are not added to matching elements that already contain an ID.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:
-x
Use XML conventions: empty elements are written with a slash at the end: <IMG /> Also causes the name of the attribute (see option -a) to become case-sensitive.

OPERANDS

The following operand is supported:
elem
The name of element to select.
.class
The name of class to select.
elem.class
The name of element that contains class to select.
html-file
The name of an HTML file.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred in the parsing of one of the HTML or XML files.

BUGS

Assumes UTF-8 as input. Doesn't expand character entities. Instead pipe the input through unent(1) and asc2xml(1) to convert it to UTF-8.
