<P>stag-parse.pl - parses a file and fires events (e.g. sxpr to xml)</P>

<PRE>
# convert XML to IText
stag-parse.pl -p xml -w itext file1.xml file2.xml</PRE>

<H1><A NAME="description">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
<P>script wrapper for the Data::Stag modules</P>
<P>feeds in files into a parser object that generates nestarray events,
and feeds the events into a handler/writer class</P>

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2Dp%7Cparser_FORMAT">-p|parser FORMAT</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
<P>this is the class that parsers the input <CODE>file(s)</CODE> and generates stag
events</P>
<P>xml assumed as default</P>
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2Dw%7Cwriter_FORMAT">-w|writer FORMAT</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
<P>this is the class that catches the events thrown by the parser; it can
be any class, but the class is typically a writer</P>
<P>xml assumed as default</P>
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2Do%7Cout_FILE">-o|out FILE</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
the writer will use this file (defaults to STDOUT)
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2De%7Cerrf_FILE">-e|errf FILE</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
file to store parse error handler output
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2Derrhandler_FORMAT%2FMODULE">-errhandler FORMAT/MODULE</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
<P>all parse error events go to this module</P>
<P></P>
<DT><DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2Dr%7Croot_NODE_NAME">-r|root NODE_NAME</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
if this is specified, NODE_NAME becomes the root of the stag tree, and
anything that was previously the root is placed below this.
<P>this happens automatically if more than one file is parsed (because
there can only be one tree root)</P>
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_%2Dcolor">-color</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Works only if the output handler is able to provide ASCII-colors
(currently supported for itext and xml)
