NAME
       osgmlnorm  -  An	 SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO
       8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language. An SGML Extended Facili-
       ties  system  conforming	 to Annex A of International Standard ISO/IEC
       10744 -- Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language.

SYNOPSIS
       osgmlnorm [-CdeghmnrRvx] [-alinktype] [-Aarchitecture]
		 [-bbctf] [-ccatalog] [-Ddirectory...]
		 [-Emax_errors...] [-iname...] [-fname...]
		 [-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 decla-
       ration  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 exam-
       ple, with HTML osgmlnorm would output 
  rather  than  



       The following options are available:


       -aname, --activate=name
	      Make doctype or linktype name active.


       -Aarchitecture, --architecture=architecture
	      Parse with respect to architecture architecture.


       -bbctf, --bctf=bctf
	      Use the BCTF with name bctf for output.


       -csysid, --catalog=sysid
	      Map  public  identifiers and entity names to system identifiers
	      using the catalog entry file whose system identifier is  sysid.


       -C, --catalogs
	      This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).


       -d, --dtd
	      Output a document type declaration with the same external iden-
	      tifier 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, --directory=directory
	      Search directory for files specified in system identifiers.

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


       -e, --open-entities
	      Describe open entities in error messages.


       --error-numbers
	      Show error numbers in error messages.


       -h, --help
	      Display a help text and exit.


       -iname, --include=name
	      This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).


       -m, --marked-sections
	      Output any marked sections that  were  in	 the  input  document
	      instance.


       -n, --comments
	      Output any comments that were in the input document instance.


       -r, --raw
	      Raw  output.  Don't  perform any conversion on RSs and REs when
	      printing the entity. The entity would typically have the	stor-
	      age manager attribute records=asis.


       -R, --restricted
	      This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).


       -v, --version
	      Print the version number.


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