HXTABLETRANS(1)                 HTML-XML-utils                 HXTABLETRANS(1)

NAME
       hxtabletrans - transpose an HTML or XHTML table

SYNOPSIS
       hxtabletrans [ -x ] [ -v ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION
       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:

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

       -v        Print the version number and exit.

BUGS
       hxtabletrans should check for rows that have fewer cells than the
       longest row (taking into account the effect of the colspan and rowspan
       attributes) and create the omitted cells, but it currently doesn't.
       Tables with rows of unequal length may thus not be transposed
       correctly.
