ROMA(1) General Commands Manual ROMA(1)
NAME
roma - compile a TEI ODD specification into schemas and dtd
SYNOPSIS
roma [options] oddfile outputdir
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. There is some more information in the help files for the web version of Roma, and plenty
of background data about ODDs in the TEI Guidelines.
roma is used to generate XML RelaxNG or W3C schemas and DTDs from the the ODD source in oddfile and (optionally) some documentation to go
with them.
OPTIONS
roma accepts the following options:
--xsl URL
location of TEI XSLT stylesheets, defaulting to /usr/share/xml/tei/stylesheet
--teiserver URL
location of TEI eXist database server, defaulting to http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/Query/
--doc create expanded documented ODD
--nodtd
suppress DTD creation
--norelax
suppress RelaxNG creation
--noxsd
suppress W3C XML Schema creation
--debug
leave temporary files, etc.
BUGS
If the ODD specification is internally inconsistent (eg some element has been deleted on which another element depends), then you may get a
Relax NG schema which is apparently OK, but which cannot be translated into W3C schema. Because the conversions to DTD and Relax are main-
tained separately, some constructs may cause one to fail but not the other. No attempt is made to trap error messages from trang which is
used to make W3C schemas.
