SYNTAX
       html2xhtml [ filename ] [ options ]


DESCRIPTION
       Html2xhtml  is  a  command-line  tool that converts HTML files to XHTML
       files. The path of the HTML input file can be provided  as  a  command-
       line argument. If not, it is read from stdin.

       Xhtml2xhtml  tries always to generate valid XHTML files.  It is able to
       correct many common errors in input HTML files without loose of  infor‐
       mation.  However,  for some errors, html2xhtml may decide to loose some
       information in order to generate a valid XHTML  output.   This  can  be
       avoided  with  the  -e option, which allows html2xhtml to generate non-
       valid output in these cases.

       Html2xhtml can generate the XHTML output compliant to one of  the  fol‐
       lowing  document  types: XHTML 1.0 (Transitional, Strict and Frameset),
       XHTML 1.1, XHTML Basic and XHTML Mobile Profile.

OPTIONS
       The command line options/arguments are:

       filename            Read the HTML input from filename  (optional  argu‐
                           ment).  If  this argument is not provided, the HTML
                           input is read from standard input.

       -c input-encoding   Encoding of the input HTML  file.  Overrides  auto‐
                           matic  input  encoding  detection (please, read the
                           note about input encodings bellow).

       -d default-input-encoding
                           Default input encoding, if it is  not  declared  in
                           the  input  file.  By  default, ISO-8859-1 (please,
                           read the note about input encodings bellow).

       -e                  Instructs the program to propagate input chunks  to
                           the  output  even  if it is unable to adapt them to
                           the output XHTML doctype. Using  this  option,  the
                           XHTML  output  may  be  non-valid.  Not  using this
                           option, some input data could be removed  from  the
                           output in some [rare] cases.

       -t output-doctype   Doctype of the output XHTML file. If not specified,
                           the program selects automatically either XHTML  1.0
                           Transitional or XHTML 1.0 Frameset depending on the
                           input. Current available doctypes are:
                            o transitional XHTML 1.0 Transitional
                            o frameset XHTML 1.0 Frameset
                            o strict XHTML 1.0 Strict
                            o 1.1 XHTML 1.1
                            o basic XHTML Basic
