NAME
sgml2xml - convert SGML to XML
An SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 — Standard Generalized Markup Language
SYNOPSIS
sgml2xml [ -Cehilprvx ] [ -bencoding ] [ -ccatalog ] [ -Ddir ] [ -ffile ] [ -iname ] [ -wwarning ]
[ -xxml-output-option ] sysid...
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.
