a | e |
l | m |
s] [file ...] |
deroff
reads each file in sequence and
removes all roff command lines, backslash constructions, macro definitions,
eqn constructs (between “.EQ” and “.EN” lines or
between delimiters), pic pictures, and table descriptions and writes the
remainder to the standard output. deroff
follows
chains of included files (“.so” and “.nx”
commands); if a file has already been included, a “.so” is
ignored and a “.nx” terminates execution. If no input file is
given, deroff
reads from the standard input.
The options are as follows:
-i
-k
-m
option is given.-m
-m
option takes the following arguments:
-p
-m
option is also specified.-w
deroff
first appeared in
Version 7 AT&T UNIX and has been
available since OpenBSD 3.1.
deroff
is not a complete troff
interpreter, so it can be confused by subtle constructs. Most errors result
in too much rather than too little output.
The -ml
option does not correctly handle
nested lists.
