💅 folialint — bestie edition ✨

okay so you found folialint in the General Commands Manual and you're like "what does this diva do" — she checks whether your FoLiA documents are actually valid, and honestly? she's the friend who reads your essay before you submit it. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

folialint — check validity of FoLiA documents 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

folialint [options] FILE(S)

like. give her the files. she'll tell you what's wrong. no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

folialint checks the validity of FoLiA files, but on a surface level — think vibe check, not a full forensic audit 🔍

here's the checklist she runs, bestie:

• Is the tag structure according to the definition?
• Are all required elements and attributes present?
• Are the attributes and values valid?
• Are all annotations correctly declared?
• Is all text consistent?

she's thorough in a specific way and we love her for it 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --output file — write output to file. (default is stdout). Assumes only 1 inputfile. one file in, one file out, that's the deal 🫶
• --nooutput — suppress all output except errors. silent mode. she's just observing 👀
• --nochecktext — Disable checking text consistency. (for older FoLiA versions this wasn't forced to be so. Which is wrong) 🚩
• --fixtext — Attempt to fix text problems like wrong offset's. > Might be dangerous, and the default is to DON'T do it. like, literally don't. the default is DON'T. 😭
• -a or --autodeclare — Attempt to automaticly fix missing annotations. (default: false) she tries her best 🧚
• --strip — strip all information from the file that makes comparison hard. Notably date/time information. This also enable --canonical output, meaning that otherwise unsorted tags are output in the same order every time. ✨
• --permissive — Accept documents with missing namespace declarations. she's being nice about it 🌈
• --warn — add some extra (warning) checks:
  • About unused set declarations
  • About possible incompatabilities between the current library version and the document version.
• --canonical or --KANON — output annotation declarations and FoLiA nodes in a fixed (canonical) order. This might make tree comparisons easier. (yes the all-caps one is iconic, we don't question it 👑)
• -d or --debug level — run with a debug level of level
• -V or --version — Show VERSION
• -h or --help — Show some help 🙈
