""" TeXcheck.py -- rough syntax checking on Python style LaTeX documents.
Written by Raymond D. Hettinger <python at rcn.com>
Copyright (c) 2003 Python Software Foundation. All rights reserved.
Designed to catch common markup errors including:
* Unbalanced or mismatched parenthesis, brackets, and braces.
* Unbalanced or mismatched \\begin and \\end blocks.
* Misspelled or invalid LaTeX commands.
* Use of forward slashes instead of backslashes for commands.
* Table line size mismatches.
Sample command line usage:
python texcheck.py -k chapterheading -m lib/librandomtex *.tex
Options:
-m Munge parenthesis and brackets. [0,n) would normally mismatch.
-k keyword: Keyword is a valid LaTeX command. Do not include the backslash.
-d: Delimiter check only (useful for non-LaTeX files).
-h: Help
-s lineno: Start at lineno (useful for skipping complex sections).
-v: Verbose. Trace the matching of //begin and //end blocks.
