NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       osgmlnorm [-Cdemnv] [-bbctf] [-ccatalog] [-Ddir...]
		 [-iname...] [-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 [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  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">

       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 onsgmls(1).

       -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 onsgmls(1).

       -e     Describe open entities in error messages.

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

       -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 man-
	      ager attribute records=asis.

       -v     Print the version number.

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