NAME
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.
SEE ALSO
yodl(1), yodlbuiltins(7), yodlconverters(1), yodlletter(7), yodlmacros(7), yodlmanpage(7), yodlpost(1), yodlverbinsert(1).
