RAST(1)RAST(1)NAMErast - translate output of sgmls to RAST format
SYNOPSISrast [ -ooutput_file ] [ input_file ]
DESCRIPTION
Rast translates the output of sgmls to the format of a RAST result.
RAST is the Reference Application for SGML Testing defined in the Pro‐
posed American National Standard on Conformance Testing for Standard
Generalized Markup Language (SGML) Systems (X3.190-199X). Rast reads
from input_file or from standard input if input_file is not specified.
It writes to output_file or to standard output if output_file is not
specified; use of the -o option avoids the need for rast to use a tem‐
porary file.
Note that the -c option of sgmls can generate a capacity report in RACT
format.
BUGS
Production [9] in clause 14.5.5 of the draft standard is clearly wrong;
rast corrects it by appending `, LE'. An alternative way to correct it
would be to delete the `,"END-ENTITY"'.
In production [18] in clause 14.5.9, `markup data+' should be
`markup data*' since internal sdata entities need not contain any char‐
acters (14.5.11), and markup data cannot be empty (14.5.9, 14.5.12).
The RAST result for the example in Annex B.4 is incorrect. The line
G03-A1= should be immediately followed by a line !g03-e1!. (The prob‐
lem with production [9] also applies to this example.)
Rast outputs a newline after #ERROR in order to avoid producing files
with partial lines.
