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?

       folialint ‐ check validity of FoLiA documents

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 --debuglevel
run with a debug level of level-V or --version
Show VERSION
-h or --help
