# sgmlsasp(1)

translate output of sgmls using ASP replacement files

## NAME

sgmlsasp - translate output of sgmls using ASP replacement files

## SYNOPSIS

**sgmls** \[**-n**\] *replacement\_file...*

## DESCRIPTION

*sgmlsasp* translates the standard input using the specification in *replacement\_file...* and writes the result to the standard output. The standard input must be in the format output by *sgmls*. Each replacement file must be in the format of an Amsterdam SGML parser (ASP) replacement file; this format is described in the ASP documentation. Duplicate replacements are silently ignored. The **-n** option disables upper-case substitution (folding) for names in replacement files; this option should be used with concrete syntaxes that do not specify upper-case substitution for general names (that is, names that are not entity names).

## BUGS

References to external data entities are ignored. (Support for external data entities is not implemented in ASP.)
