Name
       style - analyze surface characteristics of a document

Syntax
       style [-ml] [-mm] [-a] [-e] [-l num] [-r num] [-p] [-P] file...

Description
       The  command  analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing style
       of a document.  It reports on readability, sentence length  and	struc‐
       ture,  word length and usage, verb type, and sentence openers.  Because
       runs before looking at the text,	 formatting  header  files  should  be
       included	 as  part  of the input.  The default macro package -ms may be
       overridden with the flag -mm.  The  flag	 -ml,  which  causes  to  skip
       lists,  should  be used if the document contains many lists of non-sen‐
       tences.	The other options are used to locate  sentences	 with  certain
       characteristics.

Options
       -a Displays all sentences with their length and readability index.

       -e Displays all sentences that begin with an expletive.

       -l num
	  Displays all sentences longer than num.

       -ml
	  Skips lists in document.

       -mm
	  Overrides the default macro package -ms.

       -P Displays parts of speech of the words in the document.

       -p Displays all sentences that contain a passive verb.

       -r num
	  Displays all sentences whose readability index is greater than num.

Restrictions
       Use  of	non-standard  formatting  macros  may cause incorrect sentence
       breaks.
