NAME

texmatch - checks matching in TeX and LaTeX documents.

SYNOPSIS

texmatch [-i] filename

DESCRIPTION

Texmatch gives error messages if it detects unmatched braces, brackets, parentheses, and equations in TeX and LaTeX documents. Error messages are sent to the standard error.
Escaped braces, brackets, parentheses, and dollar signs are not counted. It understands TeX's rules of escaping and dollar signs pairing as well as LaTeX's \begin{equation} and \end{equation}. It also checks \input and \include files unless the -i flag is used.
Text and displayed equations are checked separately.
Commented text is not checked.

DIAGNOSTICS

Displayed equations that are started and ended by user-defined control sequences are regarded as text and they are not checked separately.
Does not check for matching \begin and \end in LaTeX environments other than equations.
