- -aname, --activate=name
-
Make link type or doctype name active. Not all ESIS
information is output in this case: the active LPDs are not explicitly
reported, although each link attribute is qualified with its link type name; there is no information
about result elements; when there are multiple link rules applicable to
the current element, nsgmls always chooses the first. You cannot mix
active link types and doctypes. Only one active doctype can be specified.
- -bname, --bctf=name
- -bname, --encoding=name
-
This determines the encoding used for output. If in fixed
character set mode it specifies the name of an encoding; if not, it
specifies the name of a BCTF.
- -B, --batch-mode
-
Batch mode. Parse each sysid... specified on the command
line separately, rather than concatenating them. This is useful mainly
with -s.
If -tfilename is also specified, then the specified
filename will be prefixed to the sysid
to make the filename for the RAST result for each sysid.
- -csysid, --catalog=sysid
-
Map public identifiers and entity names to system identifiers using the
catalog entry file whose system identifier is
sysid. Multiple
-c
options are allowed. If there is a catalog entry file called
catalog
in the same place as the document entity, it will be searched for immediately
after those specified by
-c.
- -C, --catalogs
-
The filename... arguments specify catalog files rather
than the document entity. The document entity is specified by the first
DOCUMENT
entry in the catalog files.
- -Ddirectory, --directory=directory
-
Search directory for files specified in system identifiers.
Multiple -D options are allowed. See the description of the
osfile storage manager for more information about file searching.
- -e, --open-entities
-
Describe open entities in error messages. Error messages always include
the position of the most recently opened external entity.
- -Enumber, --max-errors=number
-
Onsgmls will exit after number errors. If number
is 0, there is no limit on the number of errors. The default is 200.
- -ffile, --error-file=file
-
Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells
that do not support redirection of stderr.
- -g, --open-elements
-
Show the generic identifiers of open elements in error messages.
- -h, --help
-
Show a help message and exit.
-
-iname, --include=name
-
Pretend that
<!ENTITY % name "INCLUDE">
occurs at the start of the document type declaration subset in the SGML
document entity. Since repeated definitions of an entity are ignored, this
definition will take precedence over any other definitions of this entity
in the document type declaration. Multiple -i options are allowed.
If the SGML declaration replaces the reserved name INCLUDE then
the new reserved name will be the replacement text of the entity. Typically
the document type declaration will contain
<!ENTITY % name "IGNORE">
and will use %name; in the status keyword specification
of a marked section declaration. In this case the effect of the option
will be to cause the marked section not to be ignored.
- -n, --error-numbers
-
Show message numbers in error messages.
- -ooption, --option=option
-
Output additional information according to
option:
-
entity
-
Output definitions of all general entities not just for data or subdoc
entities that are referenced or named in an ENTITY or ENTITIES attribute.
-
id
-
Distinguish attributes whose declared value is ID.
-
line
-
Output
L commands giving the current line number and filename.
-
included
-
Output an
i command for included subelements.
-
empty
-
Output an e command for elements which are not allowed to have
an end-tag, that is those with a declared content of empty or with a content
reference attribute.
-
notation-sysid
-
Output an f command before an N command, if a system
identifier could be generated for that notation.
-
nonsgml
-
In fixed character set mode, output \%
escape sequences for non-SGML data characters. Non-SGML data characters
can result from numeric character references.
-
data-attribute
-
Output the notation name and attributes for DATA attributes. Otherwise,
DATA attributes are treated like CDATA attributes. For more details, see clause
4.4.3 of Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
comment
-
Output an _ command with the contents of a comment. Multiple comments
in a single comment declaration will result in multiple distinct _
commands, just as if the comments were each in a separate comment
declaration.
-
omitted
-
Output an o command before a command which was implied by the input
document, but omitted from the actual markup. This currently affects
(, ), and A commands.
-
tagomit
-
As omitted, but only for ( and ) commands.
-
attromit
-
As omitted, but only for A commands.
Multiple
-o options are allowed.
- -p, --only-prolog
-
Parse only the prolog. Onsgmls will exit after parsing the document type
declaration. Implies -s.
- -s, --no-output
-
Suppress output. Error messages will still be printed.
- -tfile, --rast-file=file
-
Output to file the RAST result as defined by ISO/IEC 13673:1995
(actually this isn't quite an IS yet; this implements the Intermediate
Editor's Draft of 1994/08/29, with changes to implement ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18/WG8
N1777). The normal output is not produced.
- -v, --version
-
Print the version number.
- -wtype, --warning=type
-
Control warnings and errors. Multiple -w options are allowed.
The following values of type enable warnings:
-
xml
-
Warn about constructs that are not allowed by XML.
The warnings can be enabled individually.
-
mixed
-
Warn about mixed content models that do not allow #PCDATA anywhere.
-
sgmldecl
-
Warn about various dubious constructions in the SGML declaration.
-
should
-
Warn about various recommendations made in ISO 8879 that the document does
not comply with. (Recommendations are expressed with ``should'', as distinct
from requirements which are usually expressed with ``shall''.)
-
default
-
Warn about defaulted references.
-
duplicate
-
Warn about duplicate entity declarations.
-
undefined
-
Warn about undefined elements: elements used in the DTD but not defined.

unclosed
-
Warn about unclosed start and end-tags.
-
empty
-
Warn about empty start and end-tags.

net
-
Warn about net-enabling start-tags and null end-tags.
-
min-tag
-
Warn about minimized start and end-tags. Equivalent to combination of
unclosed, empty and net warnings.

Warn about unused short reference maps: maps that are declared with a short
reference mapping declaration but never used in a short reference use
declaration in the DTD.
-
unused-param
-
Warn about parameter entities that are defined but not used in a DTD. Unused
internal parameter entities whose text is INCLUDE or IGNORE
won't get the warning.
-
notation-sysid
-
Warn about notations for which no system identifier could be generated.
-
all
-
Warn about conditions that should usually be avoided (in the opinion of
the author). Equivalent to:
mixed,
should,
default,
undefined,
sgmldecl,
unused-map,
unused-param,
empty
and
unclosed.
-
immediate-recursion
-
Warn about immediately recursive elements. For more details, see clause
2.2.5 of Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
fully-declared
-
Warn if the document instance fails to be fully-declared.
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO ELEMENT NO ENTITY NO NOTATION NO.
For more details, see clause 2.2.1 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
fully-tagged
-
Warn if the document instance fails to be fully-tagged.
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
DATATAG NO, RANK NO, OMITTAG NO,
SHORTTAG STARTTAG EMPTY NO and
SHORTTAG ATTRIB OMITNAME NO.
For more details, see clause 2.2.2 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
amply-tagged, amply-tagged-recursive
-
Warn if the document instance fails to be amply-tagged. Implicitly defined
elements may be immediately recursive if -recursive is specified.
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
DATATAG NO, RANK NO, OMITTAG NO,
SHORTTAG ATTRIB OMITNAME NO and either
IMPLYDEF ELEMENT ANYOTHER or
IMPLYDEF ELEMENT YES.
For more details, see clause 2.2.4 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
type-valid
-
Warn if the document instance fails to be type-valid.
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
VALIDITY YES.
For more details, see clause 2.2.3 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
entity-ref
-
Warn about references to non-predefined entities.
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
ENTITIES REF NONE.
For more details, see clause 2.3.2 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
external-entity-ref
-
Warn about references to external entities. This includes references to an
external DTD subset.
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
ENTITIES REF INTERNAL.
For more details, see clause 2.3.3 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
-
integral
-
Warn if the document instance is not integrally stored. i
This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
ENTITIES INTEGRAL YES.
For more details, see clause 2.3.1 of
Annex K
of ISO 8879.
A warning can be disabled by using its name prefixed with
no-.
Thus
-wall -wno-duplicate will enable all warnings except those
about duplicate entity declarations.
The following values for
warning_type disable errors:
-
no-idref
-
Do not give an error for an ID reference value which no element has as
its ID. The effect will be as if each attribute declared as an ID reference
value had been declared as a name.
-
no-significant
-
Do not give an error when a character that is not a significant character
in the reference concrete syntax occurs in a literal in the SGML declaration.
This may be useful in conjunction with certain buggy test suites.
-
no-valid
-
Do not require the document to be type-valid. This has the effect of changing
the SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY NOASSERT and IMPLYDEF
ATTLIST YES ELEMENT YES ENTITY YES NOTATION YES. An option of
-wvalid has the effect
of changing the SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY TYPE and
IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO ELEMENT NO ENTITY NO NOTATION NO.
If neither -wvalid nor
-wno-valid are specified, then the VALIDITY and IMPLYDEF
specified in the SGML declaration will be used.
-
no-afdr
-
Do not give errors when AFDR meta-DTD notation features are used in the
DTD. These errors are normally produced when parsing the DTD, but suppressed
when parsing meta-DTDs.
- -x, --references
-
Show information about relevant clauses (from ISO 8879:1986) in error messages.
The following options are also supported for backwards compatibility with
sgmls:
