- Greetings,
-
- I am looking to produce a plain text version of a 30 page LaTeX document.
- I have tried dvi2tty but I could not convince it to format the output to
- anything less than 120 - 180 columns of text ... it just inserted something
- like " *\n* " for line breaks.
-
- Does anyone have suggestions as to an alternative method to produce plain
- text versions of LaTeX documents? Nothing fancy required.
-
- Thanks!
