CHECKNR(1)							    CHECKNR(1)

NAME
       checknr - check nroff and troff input files; report possible errors

SYNOPSIS
       checknr [-fs] [-a . x1 . y1 . x2 . y2 ... .xn .yn]
	    [-c . x1 . x2 . x3 ... .xn] [filename]...

DESCRIPTION
       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 stan‐
       dard input. Delimiters checked are:

	   o	  Font changes using \fx ... \fP.

	   o	  Size changes using \sx ... \s0.

	   o	  Macros that come in open ... close forms, for	 example,  the
		  .TS and

       checknr knows about the ms(5) and me(5) macro packages.

       checknr	is  intended  to  be  used on documents that are prepared with
       checknr in mind.	 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 pro‐
       duce  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.

OPTIONS
       -f
			       Ignore \f font changes.

       -s
			       Ignore \s size changes.

       -a .x1 .y1...
			       Add  pairs  of macros to the list. The pairs of
			       macros are assumed to be those (such as .DS and
			       .DE)  that  should be checked for balance.  The
			       -a option must be followed  by  groups  of  six
			       characters,  each  group	 defining  a  pair  of
			       macros. The six characters are  a  period,  the
			       first  macro name, another period, and the sec‐
			       ond macro name. For example, to define  a  pair
			       .BS and .ES, use `-a.BS.ES'

       -c .x1...
			       Define  commands	 which checknr would otherwise
			       complain about as undefined.

BUGS
       There is no way to define a  one-character  macro  name	using  the  -a
       option.
