DEROFF(1) General Commands Manual DEROFF(1) NAME deroff, demonk, detex, delatex - remove formatting requests SYNOPSIS deroff [ option ... ] file ... demonk [ option ... ] file ... detex file delatex file DESCRIPTION Deroff reads each file in sequence and removes all nroff and troff(1) requests and non-text arguments, backslash constructions, and con- structs of preprocessors such as eqn, pic, and tbl(1). Remaining text is written on the standard output. Deroff follows files included by and commands; if a file has already been included, a for that file is ignored and a terminates execution. If no input file is given, deroff reads from standard input. The options are -w Output a word list, one `word' (string of letters, digits, and properly embedded ampersands and apostrophes, beginning with a letter) per line. Other characters are skipped. Otherwise, the output follows the original, with the deletions mentioned above. -i Ignore and requests. -ms -mm Remove titles, attachments, etc., as well as ordinary troff con- structs, from ms(6) or mm documents. -ml Same as -mm, but remove lists as well. Demonk removes all monk(1) commands and then invokes deroff to handle both troff commands and preprocessor constructs. Demonk follows files included by and commands as well as troff and requests. If no input file is given, demonk reads from standard input. Demonk recognizes the following options and passes all options except -b and -d to deroff . -i Ignore monk and commands as well as troff and requests. -b Do not output blank lines resulting from the removal of monk commands. -ddir Use non-standard monk database directory dir. Detex and delatex do for tex(1) and latex(6) files what deroff -w does for troff files. Delatex largely subsumes detex. SEE ALSO troff(1), monk(1), tex(1), spell(1), wwb(1) BUGS These filters are not complete interpreters of troff or tex. For exam- ple, macro definitions containing cause chaos in deroff when the popu- lar delimiters for eqn are in effect. Text inside macros is emitted at place of definition, not place of call.
