style(1)						      General Commands Manual							  style(1)

NAME

       style - Analyzes surface characteristics of a document.

SYNOPSIS

       style [-ml] [-mm] [-a] [-e] [-l num] [-r num] [-p] [-P] file...

OPTIONS

       Displays  all  sentences  with their length and readability index.  Displays all sentences that begin with an expletive.  Displays all sen-
       tences longer than num.	Skips lists in the document.  Overrides the default -ms macro package.	Displays parts of speech of the  words	in
       the document.  Displays all sentences that contain a passive verb.  Displays all sentences whose readability index is greater than num.

DESCRIPTION

       The  style command analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing style of a document.  It reports on readability, sentence length and
       structure, word length and usage, verb type, and sentence openers. Because style runs deroff before looking at the text, formatting  header
       files should be included as part of the input.  The default macro package -ms may be overridden with the -mm option.  The -ml option, which
       causes deroff to skip lists, should be used if the document contains many lists that contain non-sentences. Use the other options to locate
       sentences with certain characteristics.

RESTRICTIONS

       Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect sentence breaks.
