     STYLE(CT)		      XENIX System V		     STYLE(CT)

     Name
	  style	 -  Analyzes characteristics of a document.

     Syntax
	  style [ -ml ] [ -mm ] [ -a ] [ -e ] [ -l num ] [ -r num ]
	       [ -p ] [ -P ] file ...

     Description
	  style analyzes the characteristics of the writing style of a
	  document.  It reports on readability, sentence length and
	  structure, word length and usage, verb type, and sentence
	  openers.  Because style(CT) runs deroff before looking at
	  the text, formatting header files should be included as part
	  of the input.	 The default macro package -ms may be
	  overridden with the flag -mm. The flag -ml, which causes
	  deroff to skip lists, should be used if the document
	  contains many lists of nonsentences.	The other options are
	  used to locate sentences with certain characteristics.

	  -a	 Prints all sentences with their length and
		 readability index.

	  -e	 Prints all sentences that begin with an expletive.

	  -p	 Prints all sentences that contain a passive verb.

	  -l num Prints all sentences longer than num.

	  -r num Prints all sentences whose readability index is
		 greater than num.

	  -P	 Prints parts of speech of the words in the document.

     Notes
	  Use of nonstandard formatting macros may cause incorrect
	  sentence breaks.

	  style may not work when analyzing lines that are too long.
