yodlstriproff - strip ASCII control characters
SYNOPSIS
command | yodlstriproff > outputfile
DESCRIPTION
The yodlstriproff program is a very simple tool to strip ASCII control characters off a stream, so that only `bare' ASCII is left. The
stripped control sequences are ^H (backspace) followed by any character; this mechanism is used to underline or boldface text on terminals
that support it.
yodlstriproff is typically used with the Yodl converters yodl2msless and yodl2manless.

yodlverbinsert - Generate verb-sections from parts of a file
SYNOPSIS
yodlverbinsert [OPTIONS] marker file
DESCRIPTION
Verbinsert is a simple C support program that can be used to generate verb()-sections in Yodl files from sections of existing files. The
files from which sections are included are usually C or Cpp source files, accepting either // or /*-style comment. See the EXAMPLES section
for illustrations.
Verbinsert offers the possibility to indent both the initial verb-statement and the inserted file contents. Furthermore, an additional
empty line may be inserted before the first line that is actually inserted.
o marker
The argument marker must start in file's first column en must either start as a standard C or C++ comment: // or /* must be used.
Following that, the remainder of the argument is used as a label, e.g., //label, /*LABEL*/. Except for the first two characters and
their locations no special restrictions are imposed upon the markers. A labeled section ends at the next //= (when the label started
with //) or at the next /**/ (when the label started with /*). Like the markers, the end-markers must also start in the file's first
column.
o file
The argument file must be an existing file.
Verbinsert writes its selected section to its standard output stream.
NOTE: Starting with Yodl version 3.00.0 Yodl's default file inclusion behavior has changed. The current working directory no longer remains
fixed at the directory in which Yodl is called, but is volatile, changing to the directory in which a yodl-file is located. This has the
advantage that Yodl's file inclusion behavior now matches the way C's #include directive operates; it has the disadvantage that it may
break some current documents. Conversion, however is simple but can be avoided altogether if Yodl's -L (--legacy-include) option is used.
OPTIONS
The default values of options are listed with each of the options between square brackets. The defaults were chosen so that yodlverbinsert
performs the behavior of an earlier version of this program, which was not distributed with Yodl.
o -N
Do not write a newline immediately following verb-statement's open-parenthesis. By default it is written, causing an additional line
to be inserted before the first line that's actually inserted from a file.
o -s spaces [0]
start each line that is written into the verb-section with spaces additional blanks.
o -S spaces [8]
prefix the verb of the verb-section by spaces additional blanks.
o -t tabs [0]
start each line that is written into the verb-section with tabs additional tab characters. If both -s and -t are specified, the tabs
are inserted first.
o -T tabs [0]
prefix the verb of the verb-section by tabs additional tab characters. If both -S and -T are specified, the tabs are inserted first.
EXAMPLE
Assume the file demo contains the following text:
preceding text
//one
one 1
//=
/*two*/
two
/**/
trailing text
Then the following commands write the shown output to the program's standard output:
o verbinclude //one demo
verb(
one 1
)
o verbinclude -N //one demo
verb(one 1
)
o verbinclude -s4 '/*two*/' demo
verb(
two
)
