SGMLSASP(1)

💖 SGMLSASP 💖

okay bestie, so this is sgmlsasp from the General Commands Manual — she's a lil translator girlie who takes the output of sgmls and turns it into whatever your ASP replacement files say. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sgmls [-n] replacement_file...

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea, fr fr. sgmlsasp takes standard input and translates it using the spec you gave it in replacement_file... — and then it writes the result straight to standard output. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

and like, the standard input must be in the format that sgmls outputs. no exceptions bestie, it's giving picky. 🙈

every replacement file has to be in the format of an Amsterdam SGML parser (ASP) replacement file — and that format is described in the ASP documentation, so go read that if you need the deets. i'm not gonna make stuff up. 📚✨

duplicate replacements? silently ignored. not a word, not a peep, she just moves on. iconic behaviour honestly. 💀

now, the -n option — listen up — it disables upper-case substitution (that's the "folding" thing) for names in replacement files. you should use this option when you're working with concrete syntaxes that don't specify upper-case substitution for general names — and by general names i mean names that are not entity names. got it? 🎀

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so not everything is slay, unfortunately. 😭

• references to external data entities are ignored. periodt. no support for external data entities — it's just not implemented in ASP. so if you were counting on that... she's not gonna do it. sorry bestie 🫶
