NAME

osgmlnorm - An SGML/XML document normalizer

SYNOPSIS

osgmlnorm [-CdeghmnrRvx] [-alinktype] [-Aarchitecture] [-bbctf]
[-ccatalog] [-Ddirectory...] [-Emax_errors...] [-iname...]
[-fname...] [-wwarning...] [sysid...]

DESCRIPTION

osgmlnorm prints on the standard output a normalized document
instance for the SGML document contained in the concatenation of the
entities with system identifiers


When the normalized instance is prefixed with the original SGML
declaration and prolog, it will have the same ESIS as the original
SGML document, with the following exceptions:

* The output of osgmlnorm does not protect against the recognition of
short reference delimiters, so any USEMAP declarations must be
removed from the DTD.

* The normalized instance will use the reference delimiters, even if
the original instance did not.

* If marked sections are included in the output using the -m option,
the reference reserved names will be used for the status keywords
even if the original instance did not.

* Any ESIS information relating to the SGML LINK feature will be
lost.

The normalized instance will not use any markup minimization features
except that:

* Any attributes that were not specified in the original instance
will not be included in the normalized instance. (Current attributes
will be included.)

* If the declared value of an attribute was a name token group, and a
value was specified that was the same as the name of the attribute,
then the attribute name and value indicator will be omitted. For
example, with HTML osgmlnorm would output <DL COMPACT> rather than
<DL COMPACT="COMPACT">

Part of an SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879
-- Standard Generalized Markup Language. An SGML Extended Facilities
system conforming to Annex A of International Standard ISO/IEC 10744
-- Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language.

The following options are available:

-aname, --activate=name
Make doctype or linktype name active.

-Aarchitecture, --architecture=architecture
Parse with respect to architecture architecture.

-bbctf, --bctf=bctf
Use the BCTF with name bctf for output.

-csysid, --catalog=sysid
Map public identifiers and entity names to system identifiers
using the catalog entry file whose system identifier is sysid.

-C, --catalogs
This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-d, --dtd
Output a document type declaration with the same external
identifier as the input document, and with no internal
declaration subset. No check is performed that the document
instance is valid with respect to this DTD.

-Ddirectory, --directory=directory
Search directory for files specified in system identifiers.

This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-e, --open-entities
Describe open entities in error messages.

--error-numbers
Show error numbers in error messages.

-h, --help
Display a help text and exit.

-iname, --include=name
This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-m, --marked-sections
Output any marked sections that were in the input document
instance.

-n, --comments
Output any comments that were in the input document instance.

-r, --raw
Raw output. Don't perform any conversion on RSs and REs when
printing the entity. The entity would typically have the storage
manager attribute records=asis.

-R, --restricted
This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-v, --version
Print the version number.

-wtype
Control warnings and errors according to type. This has the same
effect as in onsgmls(1).
