NAME¶
sgmlspl - a simple post-processor for nsgmls
SYNOPSIS¶
sgmlspl spec file
DESCRIPTION¶
sgmlspl is a sample application to convert SGML documents to other formats by
providing a specification file detailing exactly how to handle each element,
external data entity, subdocument entity, CDATA string, record end, SDATA
string, and processing instruction.
To use sgmlspl, prepare a specification file containing regular perl5 code. If
the SGML document were named doc.sgml, the sgmlspl specification file were
named, spec.pl, and the name of the new file were doc.latex, then use the
following command in a Unix shell to convert the SGML document:
nsgmls doc.sgml | sgmlspl spec.pl > doc.latex
sgmlspl will pass any additional arguments on to the specification file, which
can then process them in the regular perl5 fashion.
