NAME
tr2tex - convert a document from troff to latex
SYNOPSIS
tr2tex [ -m ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Tr2tex attempts to convert into latex(6) form a document contained in
files written in troff(1) with ms(6) macros, eqn(1) equations, and some
simple tbl(1) specifications. The result is placed on standard output.
There is one option.
-m Convert the document from man(6) form to latex(6).
The output may need some hand polishing. Troff requests that cannot be
converted are left as comments. Some of the converted document may be
in plain TeX.
FILES
tex(1) macros into which some troff constructs convert.
BUGS
Option -m does not work with 10th edition man macros.
Commands that are not separated from their argument by a space are not
properly parsed (e.g. .sp3i).
Eqn operators and are treated as and as
Eqn operators and are ignored.
The closing member of a naturally bracketing pair of troff requests,
such as .nf-.fi or .ft I-.ft R, is not supplied automatically after
each paragraph.
When local motions are converted to or an must be supplied manually.
The eqn expression is misconverted; use instead.
Line spacing cannot be changed within a paragraph.
Number registers cannot be accessed via .nr.
Redefinition of some eqn operators, such as or will cause trouble.
