An SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 --
Standard Generalized Markup Language

SYNOPSIS

sgmlnorm [ -Cdemnv ] [ -bbctf ] [ -ccatalog ] [ -Ddir ] [ -iname ] [ -wwarning ] sysid...

DESCRIPTION

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

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

The following options are available:

-bbctf
Use the BCTF with name bctf for output.
-cfile
Use the catalog entry file file.
-C
This has the same effect as in nsgmls.
-d
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
Search directory for files specified in system identifiers. This has the same effect as in nsgmls.
-e
Describe open entities in error messages.
-iname
This has the same effect as in nsgmls.
-m
Output any marked sections that were in the input document instance.
-n
Output any comments that were in the input document instance.
-r
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.
-v
Print the version number.
-wtype
Control warnings and errors according to type. This has the same effect as in nsgmls.
