Options

hsc understands the following options:

Help

Display a short help message.

[from=]infile

Specifies the input filename. To use stdin as input file, see PipeIn.

[to=]outfile

Specifies the output filename. If no output file is given, stdout is used instead.

DestDir=destination_directory

Specifies the destination directory for output file.

Errfile=errfile

Redirects error output to a file. By default, stderr ist used.

Include=INC

File(s) to include before main-input file is read. Useful to include macro-definitions without an <$INCLUDE FILE="..">. Recommended to be used within makefiles.

Ignore=IGN

Ignore warning message number. Usually, IGNORE needs a numeric argument and can occure multiple. Example:

        IGNORE=21 IGN=18 IGN 3         (ignore warnings #21, #18, #3)

Additionally, you can give IGNORE some special values:

ALL

Ignore all non-error messages

NOTES

Ignore all notes

BADSTYLE

Ignore all bad style warnings

All these special values add new messages to the list of messages to be ignored, but do not reset any IGNOREs passed before.

Mode

Set base mode for syntax check. Legal values are PEDANTIC, NORMAL and RELAXED. Default is NORMAL. This only disables several messages and warnings from the beginning. Any IGNOREs passed before are reseted.

Switches

CheckUri

Check existence of local URIs

PipeIn

Read input file from stdin

RplcEnt

Replace special charaters with its entity (eg "ü" becomes "&uuml").

SmartEnt

Replace special charaters "&", "<" and ">" with its entity (&, < and >) if they are surrounded by white-spaces. Also replace quotes by ".

Status

Display file and line number during conversion. Included files are also displayed. After processing a file, the filename and the total number of lines remain visible. (output goes to stderr.)

Verbose

More verbose status output. Enables the Status-switch.
