NAME

       doctype - intuit command line for formatting a document

SYNOPSIS

       doctype [ option ...  ] [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Doctype	examines a troff(1) input file to deduce the appropriate text formatting command and prints it on standard output.  Doctype recog-
       nizes input for troff(1), related preprocessors like eqn(1), and the ms(6) and mm macro packages.

       Option -n invokes nroff instead of troff.  Other options are passed to troff.

EXAMPLES

       eval `{doctype chapter.?} | lp
	      Typeset files named chapter.0, chapter.1, ...

SOURCE

       /rc/bin/doctype

SEE ALSO

       troff(1), eqn(1), tbl(1), pic(1), grap(1), ms(6), man(6)

BUGS

       In true A.I. style, its best guesses are inspired rather than accurate.

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 con-
       structs of preprocessors such as eqn(1), pic(1), and tbl(1).  Remaining text is written on  the	standard  output.   Deroff  follows  files
       included  by and commands; if a file has already been included, a for that file is ignored and a terminates execution.  If no input file is
       given, deroff reads from standard input.

       The options are

       -w     Output a word list, one `word' (string of letters, digits, and properly embedded ampersands and apostrophes, beginning with  a  let-
	      ter) per line.  Other characters are skipped.  Otherwise, the output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above.

       -i     Ignore and requests.

       -ms

       -mm    Remove titles, attachments, etc., as well as ordinary troff constructs, from ms(6) or mm documents.

       -ml    Same as -mm, but remove lists as well.

       Delatex does for tex and latex (see tex(1)) files what deroff -wi does for troff files.

SOURCE

       /sys/src/cmd/deroff.c

SEE ALSO

       troff(1), tex(1), spell(1)

BUGS

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