NAME
       rast - reference application for SGML testing

       An  System Conforming to
       International Standard ISO 8879 --
       Standard Generalized Markup Language

SYNOPSIS
       rast [ -ewx ] [ -ccatalog_file ] filename...  rastfile

DESCRIPTION
       Rast is an implementation of the Reference Application for
       SGML Testing defined by ISO/IEC 13673:1994 (actually  this
       isn't  quite  an  IS yet; this implements the Intermediate
       Editor's Draft of 1994/08/29).  Rast parses the SGML docu-
       ment contained in filename...  and outputs to rastfile the
       RAST result (this is a representation of  the  ESIS  of  a
       document).

       For  more information about the underlying SGML parser and
       entity manager, see nsgmls(1).

       The following options are available:

       -cfile Use the catalog entry file file.

       -e     Describe open entities in error messages.

       -w     Give warnings.

       -x     Do not give an error when a character that is not a
              significant  character  in  the  reference concrete
              syntax occurs in a literal in the SGML declaration.
              This  may  be  useful  in  conjunction with certain
              buggy test suites.

BUGS
       In the link rule  selection  processing  instruction,  the
       attribute value literal is parsed using the reference con-
       crete syntax rather than the  document's  concrete  syntax
       and character references are not recognized.
