match_parens – Find mismatches of parentheses, braces, (angle) brackets, in texts
Mismatches of parentheses, braces, (angle) brackets, especially in TeX sources which may be rich in those, may be difficult to trace. This little Ruby 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 any mismatches.
