DESCRIPTION¶
sgml2xml converts SGML to XML.
sgml2xml parses and validates the
SGML document contained in
sysid... and writes an equivalent XML
document to the standard output.
sgml2xml will warn about SGML
constructs which have no XML equivalent.
OPTIONS¶
- -bencoding
- Use encoding for output. The default is UTF-8. See nsgmls(1)
for the possible encoding types.
- -ccatalog
- Use the catalog entry file file.
- -C
- The filename... arguments specify catalog files rather than the
document entity. The document entity is specified by the first DOCUMENT
entry in the catalog files.
- -Ddirectory
- Search directory for files specified in system identifiers.
Multiple -D options are allowed. See nsgmls(1) for more
information about this option.
- -e
- Describe open entities in error messages.
- -ffile
- Redirect errors to file. This is useful only for shells that do not
support redirection of stderr.
- -iname
- Pretend that <!ENTITY % name "INCLUDE"> occurs at
the start of the document type declaration subset in the SGML document
entity. Since repeated definitions of an entity are ignored, this
definition will take precedence over any other definitions of this entity
in the document type declaration. Multiple -i options are allowed.
If the SGML declaration replaces the reserved name INCLUDE then the new
reserved name will be the replacement text of the entity. Typically the
document type declaration will contain <!ENTITY % name
"IGNORE"> and will use % name; in the status keyword
specification of a marked section declaration. In this case the effect of
the option will be to cause the marked section not to be ignored.
- -v
- Print the version number.
- -wtype
- Control warnings and errors according to type. See nsgmls(1)
for the allowed values of type.
- -xxml-output-option
- Control the XML output, according to the value of xml_output_option
as follows:
- no-nl-in-tag
- Don't use newlines inside start-tags. Usually sgml2xml uses
newlines inside start-tags so as to reduce the probability of excessively
long lines.
- id
- Output attribute declarations for ID attributes.
- notation
- Output declarations for notations.
- ndata
- Output declarations for external data entities. XML requires these to be
NDATA. sgml2xml will warn about CDATA and SDATA external data
entities and output them as NDATA entities.
- cdata
- Use XML CDATA sections for CDATA marked sections and for elements with a
declared content of CDATA.
- comment
- Output comment declarations. Comment declarations in the DTD will not be
output.
- lower
- Prefer lower case. Names that were subjected to upper-case substitution by
SGML will be folded to lower case. This does not include reserved names;
XML requires these to be in upper-case.
- pi-escape
- Escape &<> in the contents of processing instructions using the
amp, lt and gt entities. This allows processing instructions to contain
the string >?, but requires that applications handle the escapes.
- empty
- Use the <e/> syntax for element types e declared as
EMPTY.
- attlist
- Output a ATTLIST declaration for every element specifying the type of all
attributes. The default will always be #IMPLIED.
Multiple
-x options are allowed.
