 Synopsis:       A collection of tools for processing XML with Haskell.
 Description:    The Haskell XML Toolbox bases on the ideas of HaXml and HXML,
                 but introduces a more general approach for processing XML with Haskell.

                 The library makes extensive use of the arrow approach for processing XML.
                 Since version 9 the toolbox is partitioned into various (sub-)packages.
                 This package contains the core functionality,
-                hxt-curl, hxt-tagsoup, hxt-relaxng, hxt-xpath, hxt-xslt, hxt-regex-xmlschema contain the extensions.

                 hxt-unicode contains encoding and decoding functions,
