must be passed to the option , separated by a "|". For example, to remove all physical styles, use STRIPTAG="B|I|U|TT" when invoking .

Tags with external references

can be removed if you want to create a NoNet-version of your document. Use the switch for this task. Tags which are affected by this must have an URI-type attribute, which has the attribute flag /STRIPEXT set within hsc.prefs.

Currently, this affects only the tags A, IMG and LINK.

Currently, does:
  • replace tabs by a single space
  • replace multiple white-spaces by a single space
  • replace multiple linefeeds by a single one
  • remove white-spaces preceeding a linefeed
  • remove white-spaces at beginning of line

Linefeeds and white-spaces inside a tag-call are not affected by this option. The PRE-tag temporarily suppresses this option, until a /PRE occures.
