NAME

       soelim - eliminate .so's from nroff input

SYNOPSIS

       [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by directives of the form

       when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is useful when using programs such as tbl(1) that do not normally do this, allowing
       placement of individual tables or other text objects in separate files to be run as a part of a large document.

       An argument consisting of a single minus is taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input.

       Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using instead of at the start of the line as in:

EXAMPLES

       is often used in a context similar to the following:

WARNINGS

       The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness -- exactly one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.

NAME

       soelim - Processes .so requests in nroff input

SYNOPSIS

       soelim [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       The soelim command reads the specified files or standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by nroff requests of the form:

       .so file

       When  these  requests  appear at the beginning of input lines (see SEE ALSO).  This is useful since commands such as tbl do not normally do
       this; the soelim command allows the placement of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of a large document.  The original
       and included text are written to the standard output.

       Note  that exactly one space must precede and no spaces can follow the filename.  A flag consisting of a - (dash) is taken to be a filename
       corresponding to standard input.  Inclusion can be suppressed by  using	a  '  (single  quote)  instead	of  a  .  (dot)  as  follows:  'so
       /usr/share/lib/tmac.s

EXAMPLES

       In the following example, the soelim command is used to preprocess file inclusion (.so) requests: soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms

       Because	the  tbl command does not process the nroff requests, the soelim command is used to preprocess them.  The output is then passed to
       the tbl command.  This facilitates the placement of tables in separate files that can be included to form a large document.
