NAME
soelim - resolve and eliminate .so requests from nroff or troff input SYNOPSIS
soelim [filename]... DESCRIPTION
soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) directives of the form: .so somefile when they appear at the beginning of input lines. This is useful as programs such as tbl(1) do not normally do this. It allows the placement of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of a large document. An argument consisting of - is taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input. Inclusion can be suppressed by using a single quote (') instead of a dot (.) that is, ' so /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.s EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the soelim Command The following is an example of the soelim command: example% soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr ATTRIBUTES

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. SEE ALSO
