NAME

       openjade - apply a DSSSL stylesheet to an SGML or XML document

SYNOPSIS

       openjade [-vCegG2s] [-b encoding] [-f error_file] [-c catalog_sysid] [-D dir]
                [-a link_type] [-A arch] [-E max_errors] [-i entity] [-w warning_type]
                [-d dsssl_spec] [-V variable[=value]] [-t output_type] [-o output_file]
                [sysid...]

DESCRIPTION

        openjade is an implementation of the ISO/IEC  10179:1996  standard  DSSSL  language.  The
       DSSSL  engine  receives  as  input  an SGML or XML document and transforms it into formats
       like:

       * XML representation of the flow object tree.

       * RTF format that can be rendered and printed with Microsoft's free Word Viewer 97

       * TeX format

       * MIF format that can be rendered and printed with Framemaker

       * SGML or XML format. This is used in conjunction with non-standard flow object classes to
       generate SGML, thus allowing openjade to be used for SGML/XML transformations.

       The  system  identifier  of  the  document  to be processed is specified as an argument to
       openjade. If this is omitted, standard input will be read.

       openjade determines the system identifier for the DSSSL specification as follows:

       1. If the -d option is specified, it will use the argument as the system identifier.

       2. Otherwise, it will look for processing instructions in the prolog of the document.  Two
       kinds of processing instruction are recognized:

       <?stylesheet href="sysid" type="text/dsssl">

       The system data of the processing instruction is parsed like an SGML start-tag. It will be
       parsed using the reference concrete syntax whatever the  actual  concrete  syntax  of  the
       document.  The  name  that  starts  the  processing  instruction can be either stylesheet,
       xml-stylesheet or xml:stylesheet. The processing instruction will be  ignored  unless  the
       value  of  the  type  attribute  is one of text/dsssl, text/x-dsssl, application/dsssl, or
       application/x-dsssl. The value of href attribute is the system  identifier  of  the  DSSSL
       specification.

       <?dsssl sysid>

       The  system  identifier  is  the  portion of the system data of the processing instruction
       following the initial name and any whitespace.

       Although the processing instruction is only recognized in the prolog, it need not occur in
       the  document  entity. For example, it could occur in a DTD. The system identifier will be
       interpreted relative to where the the processing instruction occurs.

       3. Otherwise, it will use the system identifier of the document with any extension changed
       to .dsl.

       A  DSSSL  specification  document  can  contain  more than one style-specification. If the
       system identifier of the DSSSL specification is followed by #id, then  openjade  will  use
       the  style-specification  whose  unique identifier is id. This is allowed both with the -d
       option and with the processing instructions.

       The DSSSL specification must be an SGML document conforming to the DSSSL architecture. For
       an example, see dsssl/demo.dsl.

       openjade  supports the following options in addition to the normal OpenSP (see onsgmls(1))
       options (note that all options are case-sensitive, ie -g and -G are different options):

       -d dsssl_spec
              This specifies that dsssl_spec is the system identifier of the DSSSL  specification
              to be used.

       -G     Debug  mode. When an error occurs in the evaluation of an expression, openjade will
              display a stack trace. Note that this disables tail-call optimization.

       -c filename
              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.

       -s     Strict  compliance  mode.  Currently  the  only effect is that jade doesn't use any
              predefined character names,  sdata-entity  mappings  or  name-characters.  This  is
              useful for checking that your stylesheet is portable to other DSSSL implementations
              and that it is strictly compliant to the DSSSL specifications.

       -t output_type
              output_type specifies the type of output as follows:

              fot  An XML representation of the flow object tree

              rtf rtf-95  RTF (used for SGML/XML to RTF transformations)  Microsoft's  Rich  Text
              Format. rtf-95 produces output optimized for Word 95 rather than Word 97.

              tex TeX (used for SGML/XML to TeX transformations)

              sgml  sgml-raw  SGML  (used for SGML/XML to SGML transformations). sgml-raw doesn't
              emit linebreaks in tags.

              xml xml-raw XML (used for SGML/XML to XML transformations).  xml-raw  doesn't  emit
              linebreaks in tags.

              html  HTML (used for SGML/XML to HTML transformations)

              mif MIF (used for SGML/XML to MIF transformations)

       -o output_file
              Write  output  to  output_file  instead of the default. The default filename is the
              name of the last input file with its extension replaced by the name of the type  of
              output. If there is no input filename, then the extension is added onto jade-out.

       -V variable
              This  is  equivalent to doing (define variable #t) except that this definition will
              take priority over any definition of variable in a style-sheet.

       -V variable=value
              This is equivalent to doing (define variable "value") except that  this  definition
              will take priority over any definition of variable in a style-sheet.

       -V (define variable value)
              This  is  equivalent  to  doing (define variable value) except that this definition
              will take priority over any definition of variable in a style-sheet. Note that  you
              will  probably have to use some escaping mechanism for the spaces to get the entire
              scheme expression parsed as one cmdline argument.

       -wtype Control warnings and errors. Multiple -w options are allowed. The following  values
              of type enable warnings:

              xml Warn about constructs that are not allowed by XML.

              mixed Warn about mixed content models that do not allow #pcdata anywhere.

              sgmldecl Warn about various dubious constructions in the SGML declaration.

              should  Warn  about various recommendations made in ISO 8879 that the document does
              not comply with. (Recommendations are expressed with ``should'', as  distinct  from
              requirements which are usually expressed with ``shall''.)

              default Warn about defaulted references.

              duplicate Warn about duplicate entity declarations.

              undefined Warn about undefined elements: elements used in the DTD but not defined.

              unclosed Warn about unclosed start and end-tags.

              empty Warn about empty start and end-tags.

              net Warn about net-enabling start-tags and null end-tags.

              min-tag  Warn  about  minimized  start  and  end-tags. Equivalent to combination of
              unclosed, empty and net warnings.

              unused-map Warn about unused short reference maps: maps that are  declared  with  a
              short  reference  mapping  declaration  but  never  used  in  a short reference use
              declaration in the DTD.

              unused-param Warn about parameter entities that are defined but not used in a  DTD.
              Unused  internal  parameter  entities whose text is INCLUDE or IGNORE won't get the
              warning.

              notation-sysid Warn about  notations  for  which  no  system  identifier  could  be
              generated.

              all  Warn  about  conditions  that should usually be avoided (in the opinion of the
              author). Equivalent to: mixed, should, default,  undefined,  sgmldecl,  unused-map,
              unused-param, empty and unclosed.

              A  warning  can  be  disabled  by  using  its  name  prefixed  with no-. Thus -wall
              -wno-duplicate will  enable  all  warnings  except  those  about  duplicate  entity
              declarations.

              The following values for warning_type disable errors:

              no-idref Do not give an error for an ID reference value which no element has as its
              ID. The effect will be as if each attribute declared as an ID reference  value  had
              been declared as a name.

              no-significant  Do  not  give  an  error when a character that is not a significant
              character in the reference  concrete  syntax  occurs  in  a  literal  in  the  SGML
              declaration. This may be useful in conjunction with certain buggy test suites.

              no-valid  Do  not  require  the  document  to be type-valid. This has the effect of
              changing the SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY NOASSERT and IMPLYDEF ATTLIST YES
              ELEMENT  YES.  An option of -wvalid has the effect of changing the SGML declaration
              to specify VALIDITY TYPE and IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO ELEMENT NO. If neither -wvalid nor
              -wno-valid  are  specified,  then  the  VALIDITY and IMPLYDEF specified in the SGML
              declaration will be used.

ENVIRONMENT

       OpenJade ignores the SP_CHARSET_FIXED  and  SP_SYSTEM_CHARSET  environment  variables  and
       always  uses  Unicode  as  its  internal  character  set, as if SP_CHARSET_FIXED was 1 and
       SP_SYSTEM_CHARSET was unset. Thus only the SP_ENCODING environment variable is relevant to
       OpenJade's handling of character sets.

OPENJADE EXTENSIONS

       The  following external procedures are available. These external procedures are defined by
       a prototype in the same  manner  as  in  the  standard.  To  use  one  of  these  external
       procedures, you must make use of the standard external-procedure procedure, using a public
       identifier of "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Procedure::name" where name is  the  name  given
       here, typically by including the following in the DSSSL specification:

       (define name (external-procedure "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Procedure::name"))

       Note  that  external-procedure  returns  #f  if it doesn't know about the specified public
       identifier. You can use this to enable your DSSSL specifications to work  gracefully  with
       other implementations which do not support these extensions.

       For  external  procedures  added by the OpenJade team, use a public identifier of the form
       "UNREGISTERED::OpenJade//Procedure::name".

       An easy way to get access to all external procedures is to  use  the  style  specification
       dsssl/extensions.dsl#procedures.   The   file  dsssl/extensions.dsl  also  contains  style
       specifications  which  make  the   nonstandard   flow   object   classes   and   inherited
       characteristics supported by the backends available in a convenient way.

       Debugging

       (debug obj)

       Generates a message including the value of obj and then returns obj.

       Simple-page-sequence header/footer control

       (if-first-page sosofo1 sosofo2)

       This  can  be  used  only  in  the  specification of the value of one of the header/footer
       characteristics of simple-page-sequence. It returns a sosofo that will display as  sosofo1
       if the page is the first page of the simple-page-sequence and as sosofo2 otherwise.

       (if-front-page sosofo1 sosofo2)

       This  can  be  used  only  in  the  specification of the value of one of the header/footer
       characteristics of simple-page-sequence. It returns a sosofo that will display as  sosofo1
       if  the  page  is a front (ie recto, odd-numbered) page and as sosofo2 if it is a back (ie
       verso, even-numbered) page.

       Numbering

       (all-element-number)

       (all-element-number osnl)

       This is the same as element-number except it counts elements with any generic  identifier.
       If osnl is not an element returns #f, otherwise returns 1 plus the number of elements that
       started before osnl. This provides an efficient way of creating a  unique  identifier  for
       any element in a document.

       External entity access

       (read-entity string)

       This  returns  a  string  containing  the  contents  of  the  external  entity with system
       identifier string. This should be used only for textual entities (CDATA  and  SDATA),  and
       not for binary entities (NDATA).

       POSIX locale access

       (language lang country)

       This  procedure  returns  an object of type language, if the system supports the specified
       language. lang is a string or symbol giving the two letter language  code.  country  is  a
       string or symbol giving the two letter country code.

       This  procedure uses POSIX locales. It is an OpenJade addition. It is not supported on all
       operating systems.

       Extended standard procedures

       (sgml-parse sysid #!key active: parent: architecture:)

       This allows you to specify an SGML architecture with respect to which the document  should
       be parsed. It is an OpenJade addition.

       (expt q k)

       This allows you to raise a quantity to an integral power. It is an OpenJade addition.

LIMITATIONS

       This  section  describes  the  limitations  of  the  front-end  (the general-purpose DSSSL
       engine); each backend also has its own limitations.

       openjade doesn't allow internal definitions at the beginning of bodies and  the  (test  =>
       recipient) variant of cond clauses.

       openjade supports only a single, fixed grove plan which comprises the following modules:

       * baseabs

       * prlgabs0

       * prlgabs1

       * instabs

       * basesds0

       * instsds0

       * subdcabs

       It  doesn't implement the following parts of SDQL: HyTime support, auxiliary parsing, node
       regular expressions.

       Query rules, sosofo synchronization, indirect sosofos, reference values, decoration  areas
       and font properties are not supported.

       Note that only inherited characteristics that are applicable to some supported flow object
       can be specified.

       Character/glyph handling

       It only supports a single pre-defined character repertoire. A character name of  the  form
       U-XXXX  where  XXXX  are four upper-case hexadecimal digits, is recognized as referring to
       the Unicode character with that code. For many characters, it is also possible to use  the
       ISO/IEC 10646 name in lower-case with words separated by hyphens.

       Some  common  SDATA  entity  names  from  the ISO entity sets are recognized and mapped to
       characters. In addition an SDATA entity name of the  form  U-XXXX,  where  XXXX  are  four
       upper-case hexadecimal digits, is mapped to the Unicode character with that code.

       OpenJade    now    supports    the   standard-chars,   map-sdata-entity,   add-name-chars,
       add-separator-chars and char-repertoire declaration element forms, allowing a  style-sheet
       to  define  additional  character  names,  sdata  entity  mappings,  name characters (i.e.
       characters allowed in identifiers) and separator characters. Currently the only recognized
       character   repertoire   is   the  built-in  repertoire.  It  has  the  public  identifier
       "UNREGISTERED::OpenJade//Character Repertoire::OpenJade".

       Validation

       Several things that it would be desirable to have checked aren't checked:

       * When the allowed value of an inherited characteristic is a symbol, OpenJade checks  only
       that  the value is a symbol that is allowed as the value of some characteristic; #t and #f
       are treated as a special kind of symbol in this case.

       * OpenJade doesn't check whether a flow object is occurring  in  a  context  where  it  is
       allowed.

       *  OpenJade  does  not prevent flow objects being attached to the principal port of a flow
       object when the flow object shouldn't have a principal port.

       * Most type-checking is done at run-time not compile-time.

       * OpenJade does not check for  non-inherited  characteristics  that  are  required  to  be
       specified.

       *  It  doesn't  check  that  optional  features  that  have been used were declared in the
       features form.

       Other limitations

       The following primitives are just stubs:

       char-script-case Always returns last argument.

       address-visited? Always returns #f.

EXAMPLES

       Given an SGML file file.sgml, use the stylesheet file.dsl and publish as an rtf file.

       openjade -t rtf file.sgml

       Using a different stylesheet:

       openjade -t rtf -d docbook.dsl file.sgml

       Using the print style specification contained within the stylesheet

       openjade -t rtf -d docbook.dsl#print file.sgml

       And use the html specification within the style sheet to convert to html

       openjade -t sgml -i html -d docbook.dsl#html file.sgml
