NAME
    osgmlnorm - An  SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO
    8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language

SYNOPSIS
    osgmlnorm [-Cdemnv] [-bbctf] [-ccatalog] [-Ddir...]
   [-iname...] [-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 doc-
    ument, 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 <DL COMPACT> rather than <DL COM-
    PACT="COMPACT">

    The following options are available:

    -bbctf Use the BCTF with name bctf for output.

    -cfile Use the catalog entry file file.

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

    -d   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
    Search directory for files specified in system identifiers.

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

    -e   Describe open entities in error messages.

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

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

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

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

    -v   Print the version number.

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