NAME
deroff, delatex – remove formatting requests |
SYNOPSIS
deroff [ option ... ] file ...
delatex file |
DESCRIPTION
Deroff reads each file in sequence and removes all nroff and troff(1)
requests and non–text arguments, backslash constructions, and constructs
of preprocessors such as eqn(1), pic(1), and tbl(1). Remaining
text is written on the standard output. Deroff follows files included
by .so and .nx commands; if a file has
already been included, a .so for that file is ignored and a .nx
terminates execution. If no input file is given, deroff reads
from standard input.
The options are
Delatex does for tex and latex (see tex(1)) files what deroff
–wi does for troff files. |

BUGS
These filters are not complete interpreters of troff or tex. For
example, macro definitions containing \$ cause chaos in deroff
when the popular $$ delimiters for eqn are in effect.
Text inside macros is emitted at place of definition, not place
of call. |
