SYNOPSIS

10             [-ccatalog_file] [-Ddirectory] [-ffile] [-mmarkup_option]

DESCRIPTION

14       ospam (OpenSP Add Markup) is an SGML markup stream editor implemented
15       using the OpenSP parser.  ospam parses the SGML document contained in
16       sysid and copies to the standard output the portion of the document
17       entity containing the document instance, adding or changing markup as
18       specified by the -m options. The -p option can be used to include the
19       SGML declaration and prolog in the output. The -o option can be used to
20       output other entities. The -x option can be used to expand entity
21       references.
22
23       Part of an SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 --
24       Standard Generalized Markup Language. An SGML Extended Facilities
25       system conforming to Annex A of Internation Standard ISO/IEC 10744 --
26       Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language.
27
28       The following options are available:
29
30       -aname, --activate=name
31           Make doctype or linktype name active.
32
33       -Aarchitecture, --architecture=architecture
34           Parse with respect to architecture architecture.
35
36       -bbctf, --bctf=bctf
37           Use bctf bctf for output.
38
39       -csysid, --catalog=sysid
40           Use the catalog entry file sysid.
41
42       -C, --catalogs
43           This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).
44
45       -Ddirectory, --directory=directory
46           Search directory for files specified in system identifiers. This
47           has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).
48
49       -e, --open-entities
50           Describe open entities in error messages.
51
52       -Emax_errors, --max-errors=max_errors
53           Exit after max_errors errors are encountered.
54
55       -ffile, --error-file=file
56           Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells that do
57           not support redirection of stderr.
58
59       -g, --open-elements
60           Show the generic identifiers of open elements in error messages.
61
62       -h, --hoist-omitted-tags
63           Hoist omitted tags out from the start of internal entities. If the
64           text at the beginning of an internal entity causes a tag to be
65           implied, the tag will usually be treated as being in that internal
66           entity; this option will instead cause it to be treated as being in
67           the entity that referenced the internal entity. This option makes a
68           difference in conjunction with -momittag or -x-x.
69
70       --help
71           Display a help text and exit.
72
73       -iname, --include=name
74           This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).
75
76       -l, --lowercase
77           Prefer lower-case. Added names that were subject to upper-case
78           substitution will be converted to lower-case.
79
80       -mmarkup_option, --markup-option=markup_option
81           Change the markup in the output according to the value of
82           markup_option as follows:
83
84           omittag Add tags that were omitted using omitted tag minimization.
85           End tags that were omitted because the element has a declared
86           content of EMPTY or an explicit content reference will not be
87           added.
88
89           shortref Replace short references by named entity references.
90
91           net Change null end-tags into unminimized end-tags, and change
92           net-enabling start-tags into unminimized start-tags.
93
94           emptytag Change empty tags into unminimized tags.
95
96           unclosed Change unclosed tags into unminimized tags.
97
98           attname Add omitted attribute names and vis.
99
100           attvalue Add literal delimiters omitted from attribute values.
101
102           attspec Add omitted attribute specifications.
103
104           current Add omitted attribute specifications for current
105           attributes. This option is implied by the attspec option.
106
107           shorttag Equivalent to combination of net, emptytag, unclosed,
108           attname, attvalue and attspec options.
109
110           rank Add omitted rank suffixes.
111
112           reserved Put reserved names in upper-case.
113
114           ms Remove marked section declarations whose effective status is
115           IGNORE, and replace each marked section declaration whose effective
116           status is INCLUDE by its marked section. In the document instance,
117           empty comments will be added before or after the marked section
118           declaration to ensure that ignored record ends remain ignored.
119
120           Multiple -m options are allowed.
121
122       -n, --error-numbers
123           Show error numbers in error messages.
124
125       -oname, --output-entity=name
126           Output the general entity name instead of the document entity. The
127           output will correspond to the first time that the entity is
128           referenced in content.
129
130       -p, --output-prolog
131           Output the part of the document entity containing the SGML
132           declaration (if it was explicitly present in the document entity)
133           and the prolog before anything else. If this option is specified
134           two or more times, then all entity references occurring between
135           declarations in the prolog will be expanded; this includes the
136           implicit reference to the entity containing the external subset of
137           the DTD, if there is one. Note that the SGML declaration will not
138           be included if it was specified by an SGMLDECL entry in a catalog.
139
140       -r, --raw
141           Don't perform any conversion on RSs and REs when outputting the
142           entity. The entity would typically have the storage manager
143           attribute records=asis.
144
145       -R, --restricted
146           This as the same effect as in onsgmls(1)
147
148       -v, --version
149           Print the version number.
150
151       -wtype, --warning=type
152           Control warnings and errors according to type. This has the same
153           effect as in onsgmls(1).
154
155       -x, --expand-references
156           Expand references to entities that are changed. If this option is
157           specified two or more times, then all references to entities that
158           contain tags will be expanded.
159

BUGS

161       Omitted tags are added at the point where they are implied by the SGML
162       parser (except as modified by the -h option); this is often not quite
163       where they are wanted.
164
165       The case of general delimiters is not preserved.
166
167       Incorrect results may be produced if a variant concrete syntax is used
168       which is such that there are delimiters in markup to be added that have
169       a prefix that is a proper suffix of some other delimiter.
170
171       If an entity reference in a default value uses the default entity and
172       an entity with that name is subsequently defined and that default value
173       is added to the document instance, then the resulting document may not
174       be equivalent to the original document.  ospam will give a warning when
175       the first two conditions are met.
