About deroff
Removes nroff/troff,
tbl, and eqn constructs.
Syntax
deroff [ -m [m | s | l ] ] [ -w ] [ -i ] [ filename]
| -m [ m | s | l ] |
The -m option may be followed by an m, s, or l. The -mm option causes the macros to be interpreted so that only running text is output (that is, no
text from macro lines.) The -ml option forces the -mm option and also causes deletion of lists
associated with the mm macros. |
| -w |
If the -w option is given, the output is a word list, one ``word'' per line, with all other
characters deleted. Otherwise, the output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above. In text, a ``word'' is any string that contains at
least two letters and is composed of letters, digits, ampersands (&), and apostrophes ('); in a macro call, however, a ``word'' is a string that
begins with at least two letters and contains a total of at least three letters. Delimiters are any characters other than letters, digits,
apostrophes, and ampersands. Trailing apostrophes and ampersands are removed from ``words.'' |
| -i |
The -i option causes deroff to ignore .so and
.nx commands. |
| filename |
Name of file to remove constructs. |
* The deroff command is not a complete troff interpreter, so it can be
confused by subtle constructs. Most such errors result in too much rather than too little output.
Examples
deroff myfile.txt - would remove constructs in
the file myfile.txt.
