style(6) says not to convert tabs to spaces.
I see. People on Plan 9 are "told" which characters they "should" or
"shouldn't" use in their text. Great!
An awk program can do this. The idea is to interpret tags as they come in
the form of a stack:
code stack
<html> html
<head> head
html
<title> title
head
html
</b> title error: closing wrong tag
You can also check to see if tags make sense or bad tags are nested. For
example, don't see <body><body></body></body> as normal, nor
<title><b></b></title>.
That stack has been implemented in vim. There're nearly 500 different
syntax matching and highlighting schemes for vim, and there's a simple
language for writing your own schemes. Why not use vi?

11. Bookmarks
If you know what text the bookmark will point to, make a comment on the
line above it:
/* C comment */
.\" troff comment
# rc/awk comment
Set the comment to the text of the bookmark. Then, search for the text of
the bookmark with the appropriate comment delimiters. Easy enough.
