16: _S_t_y_l_e analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing
17: style of a document. It reports on readability, sentence
18: length and structure, word length and usage, verb type, and
19: sentence openers. Because _s_t_y_l_e runs _d_e_r_o_f_f before looking
20: at the text, formatting header files should be included as
21: part of the input. The default macro package --mmss may be
22: overridden with the flag --mmmm.. The flag --mmll, which causes
23: ddeerrooffff to skip lists, should be used if the document con-
24: tains many lists of non-sentences. The other options are
25: used to locate sentences with certain characteristics.
26:
27: --aa print all sentences with their length and readability
28: index.
29:
30: --ee print all sentences that begin with an expletive.

32: --pp print all sentences that contain a passive verb.

34: --ll_n_u_m
35: print all sentences longer than _n_u_m.

37: --rr_n_u_m
38: print all sentences whose readability index is greater
39: than _n_u_m.
