NAME
       rast - translate output of sgmls to RAST format

SYNOPSIS
       rast [ -ooutput_file ] [ input_file ]

DESCRIPTION
       Rast translates the output of sgmls to the format of a RAST result.
       RAST is the Reference Application for SGML Testing defined in the
       Proposed American National Standard on Conformance Testing for Standard
       Generalized Markup Language (SGML) Systems (X3.190-199X).  Rast reads
       from input_file or from standard input if input_file is not specified.
       It writes to output_file or to standard output if output_file is not
       specified; use of the -o option avoids the need for rast to use a
       temporary file.

       Note that the -c option of sgmls can generate a capacity report in RACT
       format.

BUGS
       Production [9] in clause 14.5.5 of the draft standard is clearly wrong;
       rast corrects it by appending `, LE'.  An alternative way to correct it
       would be to delete the `,"END-ENTITY"'.

       In production [18] in clause 14.5.9, `markup data+' should be
       `markup data*' since internal sdata entities need not contain any
       characters (14.5.11), and markup data cannot be empty (14.5.9,
       14.5.12).

       The RAST result for the example in Annex B.4 is incorrect.  The line
       G03-A1= should be immediately followed by a line !g03-e1!.  (The
       problem with production [9] also applies to this example.)

       Rast outputs a newline after #ERROR in order to avoid producing files
       with partial lines.
