= match_parens - find mismatches of various brackets and quotes

= Synopsis
match_parens [filename]

Options:
-p,--pairs=S	set matching pairs to S (default: |{}[]()""“”''‘’|)
-n,--number=N	set number of mismatching characters shown to N (default: 10)
-l,--latex	convert |``...''| to |“...”| before testing
-V,--version	print version and exit
-h,--help	print short help information and exit
   --test	do an internal test and exit

= Description
Mismatches of parentheses, braces, (angle) brackets, especially in TeX
sources which may be rich in those, may be difficult to trace. This little
script helps you by writing your text to standard output, after adding a
left margin to your text, which will normally be almost empty, but will
clearly show up to 10 mismatches. (Just try me on myself to see that the
parenthesis starting this sentence will not appear to be matched at the end
of the file. If you look at me in the vim editor, then select this
paragraph and try the command: |:!%|.

By default, the following pairs are tested:
()	round brackets or parentheses
{}	curly brackets or braces
[]	square brackets
<>	angle brackets (within html text only)
""	ASCII double quotes
“”	Unicode double quotation marks
''	ASCII single quotes
‘’	Unicode single quotation marks

The exit value of the script is 0 when there are no mismatches, 1 otherwise.

Angle brackets are only looked for inside HTML text, where HTML is
supposed to start with |<html>| or |=begin rdoc| and to end with
|</html>| or |=end|.

= Options
-p,--pairs=S	
	Set matching pairs to S (default: |{}[]()""“”''‘’|). For example, if you
	want to look for mismatching ASCII single quotes /only/, use |--pairs="''"|.
	Or, if you want to match braces and guillemets only, use |-p «»|.
	Note that if html is detected in your text, |<>| is automatically added
	to the pairs list. So by default, |<...>| is tested only in html, but
	you can test that in other text by specifying the |<>| pair in the
	|--pairs| option.
-n,--number=N	
	Set number of mismatching characters shown to N. By default, only the
	first 10 are shown.
-l,--latex	
	convert |``...''| to |“...”|` before testing.
-V,--version	
	print this script's version and exit.
-h,--help	
	print short help information and exit.
   --test	
	do an internal test and exit. Note that if, with the |--pairs| option,
	you specify an other pairs list than the default, the test will
	probably fail, but you can still see the effects of your pairs list on
	the test data.

= Examples
Suppose we have two files, |good| and |bad|, containing these texts:
	good:				bad:
	This is a (simple) test 	This is a (simple test
	without mismatches		containing mismatches

Just report if there are mismatches: 
	$ match_parens good >/dev/null && echo fine || echo problems
	fine
	$ match_parens bad >/dev/null && echo fine || echo problems
	problems

Report all tex files with mismatches in the current directory:
	$ for i in *.tex; do match_parens $i >/dev/null || echo $i; done

Matches must be in correct order:
	$ echo -e "This is a ([simple)] test\n" | match_parens
	      1 ([)]	This is a ([simple)] test
	      2 ([)]

= Changes
Changes with respect to version 1.41:
- test on more quote characters (single, double, ASCII, Unicode)
- option for changing the character pairs to be tested
- conversion of latex' ``...'' is now an option
- built-in test option |--test|

__END__
This first line “{()}” has no mismatch
but here ( we have one.
It is even extended “{() with two more.

Here comes an untested angle bracket <, but here }” all) mismatches are erased.

=begin rdoc
Inside html text now. ‘{There is an unmatched} single quote here.
A brace { is added to it here,
and an angle bracket < is added.
But > all mismatches <are>}’ cancelled here.
=end

Four mismatches start ({"'start {here} but
are cancelled '" here}).
We end here with a mismatch caused by “{(improper)”} nesting!
But the test succeeds because we expected that.
