       deroff - Deletes neqn, nroff, and tbl constructs

SYNOPSIS
       deroff [-i  | -l] [-kpuw] [-ma  | -me  | -mm  | -ms] file...

       deroff [-i  | -l] [-kpuw] -mm  -ml  file...

       The deroff command reads the specified files (or standard input by default), removes all nroff requests, macro calls, backslash constructs,
       eqn constructs (between and lines and between delimiters), and tbl descriptions, replacing many of them with spaces  or	blank  lines,  and
       writes the remainder of the file to standard output.

OPTIONS
       Suppresses  processing  of  included  files  (.so and Keeps blocks of text specified by requests or macros; for example, the request.  Sup-

       In  a  macro call, a word is a string that begins with at least two letters and contains a total of at least three letters.  Delimiters are

       Trailing ampersands and apostrophes are removed from words.
