checknr
checks a list of
nroff(1) or
troff(1) input files for certain
kinds of errors involving mismatched opening and closing delimiters and
unknown commands. If no files are specified, checknr
checks the standard input.
Recognized options are:
-a
-a.BS.ES
’.-c
-f
checknr
to ignore
‘\f

checknr
is intended for use on documents
that are prepared with checknr
in mind, much the
same as lint(1). It expects a
certain document writing style for
‘\f
’ and
‘\s
’ commands, in that each
‘\fx
’ must be terminated with
‘\fP
’ and each
‘\sx
’ must be terminated with
‘\s0
’. While it will work to directly
go into the next font or explicitly specify the original font or point size,
and many existing documents actually do this, such a practice will produce
complaints from checknr
. Since it is probably better
to use the ‘\fP
’ and
‘\s0
’ forms anyway, you should think
of this as a contribution to your document preparation style.
checknr
knows about the
ms(7) and
me(7) macro packages, as well as
the macros from mdoc(7).
checknr
command appeared in
4.0BSD. Basic
mdoc(7) support appeared in
NetBSD 1.6.
-a
.
Does not correctly recognize certain reasonable constructs, such as conditionals.
mdoc(7) macros that
are not at the beginning of the line are not recognized. Among others, this
results in too many ‘Unmatched Zz
’
errors.
