NAME

folialint ‐ check validity of FoLiA documents

SYNOPSIS

folialint [options] FILE(S)

DESCRIPTION

folialint will check the validity of FoLiA files on a surface level:

‐ 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?

OPTIONS

--output file

write output to 'file'. (default is stdout). Assumes only 1 inputfile.

--nooutput

suppress al output except errors

--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.

-a or --autodeclare

Attempt to automaticly fix missing annotations. (default: false)

--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.

--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.

-d or --debug level

run with a debug level of level

-V or --version

Show VERSION

-h or --help

Show some help
