NAME

       ospam - An SGML/XML markup stream editor

SYNOPSIS

       ospam [-CeghilprRvx] [-alinktype] [-Aarchitecture] [-bbctf] [-ccatalog_file] [-Ddirectory]
             [-ffile] [-mmarkup_option] [-oentity_name] [-wwarning_type] [sysid...]

DESCRIPTION

       ospam (OpenSP Add Markup) is an SGML markup stream editor implemented using the OpenSP
       parser.  ospam parses the SGML document contained in sysid and copies to the standard
       output the portion of the document entity containing the document instance, adding or
       changing markup as specified by the -m options. The -p option can be used to include the
       SGML declaration and prolog in the output. The -o option can be used to output other
       entities. The -x option can be used to expand entity references.

       Part of an SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 -- Standard
       Generalized Markup Language. An SGML Extended Facilities system conforming to Annex A of
       Internation Standard ISO/IEC 10744 -- Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language.

       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 bctf bctf for output.

       -csysid, --catalog=sysid
           Use the catalog entry file sysid.

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

       -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.

       -Emax_errors, --max-errors=max_errors
           Exit after max_errors errors are encountered.

       -ffile, --error-file=file
           Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells that do not support
           redirection of stderr.

       -h, --hoist-omitted-tags
           Hoist omitted tags out from the start of internal entities. If the text at the
           beginning of an internal entity causes a tag to be implied, the tag will usually be
           treated as being in that internal entity; this option will instead cause it to be
           treated as being in the entity that referenced the internal entity. This option makes
           a difference in conjunction with -momittag or -x -x.

       --help
           Display a help text and exit.

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

       -l, --lowercase
           Prefer lower-case. Added names that were subject to upper-case substitution will be
           converted to lower-case.

       -mmarkup_option, --markup-option=markup_option
           Change the markup in the output according to the value of markup_option as follows:

           omittag Add tags that were omitted using omitted tag minimization. End tags that were
           omitted because the element has a declared content of EMPTY or an explicit content
           reference will not be added.

           shortref Replace short references by named entity references.

           net Change null end-tags into unminimized end-tags, and change net-enabling start-tags
           into unminimized start-tags.

           emptytag Change empty tags into unminimized tags.

           unclosed Change unclosed tags into unminimized tags.

           attname Add omitted attribute names and vis.

           attvalue Add literal delimiters omitted from attribute values.

           attspec Add omitted attribute specifications.

           current Add omitted attribute specifications for current attributes. This option is
           implied by the attspec option.

           shorttag Equivalent to combination of net, emptytag, unclosed, attname, attvalue and
           attspec options.

           rank Add omitted rank suffixes.

           reserved Put reserved names in upper-case.

           ms Remove marked section declarations whose effective status is IGNORE, and replace
           each marked section declaration whose effective status is INCLUDE by its marked
           section. In the document instance, empty comments will be added before or after the
           marked section declaration to ensure that ignored record ends remain ignored.

           Multiple -m options are allowed.

       -n, --error-numbers
           Show error numbers in error messages.

       -oname, --output-entity=name
           Output the general entity name instead of the document entity. The output will
           correspond to the first time that the entity is referenced in content.

       -p, --output-prolog
           Output the part of the document entity containing the SGML declaration (if it was
           explicitly present in the document entity) and the prolog before anything else. If
           this option is specified two or more times, then all entity references occurring
           between declarations in the prolog will be expanded; this includes the implicit
           reference to the entity containing the external subset of the DTD, if there is one.
           Note that the SGML declaration will not be included if it was specified by an SGMLDECL
           entry in a catalog.

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

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

       -v, --version
           Print the version number.

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

       -x, --expand-references
           Expand references to entities that are changed. If this option is specified two or
           more times, then all references to entities that contain tags will be expanded.

BUGS

       Omitted tags are added at the point where they are implied by the SGML parser (except as
       modified by the -h option); this is often not quite where they are wanted.

       The case of general delimiters is not preserved.

       Incorrect results may be produced if a variant concrete syntax is used which is such that
       there are delimiters in markup to be added that have a prefix that is a proper suffix of
       some other delimiter.

       If an entity reference in a default value uses the default entity and an entity with that
       name is subsequently defined and that default value is added to the document instance,
       then the resulting document may not be equivalent to the original document.  ospam will
       give a warning when the first two conditions are met.
