""" 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.
