DEROFF(1) General Commands Manual DEROFF(1)
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.
