NAME
deroff - remove nroff, troff, tbl and eqn constructs
SYNOPSIS
deroff
[
-w
]
file ...
DESCRIPTION
Deroff
reads each file in sequence
and removes all
nroff
and
troff
command lines, backslash constructions, macro definitions,
eqn
constructs
(between `.EQ' and `.EN' lines or between
delimiters),
and table descriptions
and writes the remainder on the standard output.
Deroff
follows chains of included files
(`.so' and `.nx' commands);
if a file has already been included, a `.so' is ignored and a `.nx' terminates execution.
If no input file is given,
deroff
reads from the standard input file.
If the
-w
flag is given, the output is a word list, one `word' (string of letters, digits, and apostrophes,
beginning with a letter; apostrophes are removed) per line, and all other characters ignored.
Otherwise, the output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above.
SEE ALSO
troff(1), eqn(1), tbl(1)
BUGS
Deroff
is not a complete
troff
interpreter,
so it can be confused by subtle constructs.
Most errors result in too much rather than too little output.
